^Totally agree. Even though I'd hate to see AMD lose another sale, an i5 + B75/Z75 combo would be far superior.
Need A Gaming and Photoshop Rig under 30K

You guys are forgetting one thing, at the price near to 11K, OP can manage a FX-8320 or even a FX-8350 which offers performance slightly higher than i5 3570K in stock speed in multi-threaded applications. And Adboe Photoshop and Illustrator is multi-threaded in nature. So why highlighting single threaded performance when Op's work does not concern it. Processor should be selected based on the user's need, not because of the features it offers. For example, in Mp3 ripping from Audio CD using iTunes is single threaded in nature and even i3 3220 has better performance here than FX-8350; but that does not change the fact that most of the OP's needs are on CPU intensive tasks where multiple cores can be utilized properly.
OP can consider FX-8320 @ 9.8K which is better than i5 3470.

Because their is no reliable mobo under 5 k for amd so the total package costs much more. Its not like this everywhere but unfortunately true for india. Why does amd need more phase mobo? Because they need a lot more power. They might be cool underload, but put a lot more strain on motherboard and psu.
Almost every h61 motherboard can run i7 at stock but half amd budget motherboards cannot run fx 8350 without dieing or throttling seriously

Actually photoshop here does not need outright opencl performance. Igp's like hd4000 also has very good open-cl performance in photoshop.
So any decent gaming gpu will provide acceleration.
650-ti boost should be the gpu choice here. Its miles ahead than 7790 in gaming and can easily handle photoshop.
Here cpu performance is better than open-cl.

This thing has a titan. So open-cl performance requires just a decent accelerator and a good cpu.

^Also CUDA is supported by many more pro applications than OpenCL (yes, I know it's crippled on Kepler cards, but there will be some performance gains still).
