I'm not really the best when it comes to coming up with a PC parts list for someone based on their preferences and the technology out there now which seems to change almost daily, and if you're not on the up and up about it all it's even harder to realy put something together decent withen a certain budget. When I did this on other tech forums I used the pcpartpicker website and had to research all the parts all the while trying to stay withen the user's requested budget.
So with that let me give you some information that can help you on this new build.
I don't remember the exact model, but there is an ASUS gaming TUF motherboard that will work with Kaby or Coffeelake and offers Windows 7 drivers I do believe. In order to make sure that's the case you would need to go to ASUS' website for that model of motherboard and look to see if their support page for that motherboard offers Windows 7 drivers.
I've been told there are motherboards out there that will use Kaby and Coffeelake CPUs and offer Windows 7 drivers, but you'd have to do your research. Research is just one part of building a PC. When you chose RAM you want to check the QVL sheet at the motherboard manufacturer's website on what RAM they have tested that is shown to be compatible with that motherboard.
On the GPU front, that will have a bearing on the type of PSU you get. There are online PSU calculators that you can use to get an idea of how much wattage you'll need for the GPU and the whole system based on all the hardware you have installed. This has always been the website I'd go to.

Picking a good PSU is also important because if it goes out it could take out the whole PC. And I know of stories where people's PSU's caught fire. There was this one story I was told by a gaming friend of mine where they were gaming and all of a sudden the guy said over Team Speak, "my PC is smoking! Sh^$!" And throws water on the computer. Well of course the PC is now gone. Kinda funny when you think about it. I can only imagine being in a game like Call OF Duty and all of a sudden having your online gaming buddy say their PC was smoking and on fire. So with that, you wanna chose a good name brand, reputable PSU maker and not cheap out. I prefer Antec myself and so far I haven't had any issues. Though, that's not saying you can't get a possible lemon. It can happen. The other reputable PSU makers I know of are EVGA, Seasonic and Thermaltake. But again, make sure you do your research and read all reviews and make an educated consumer choice on what to buy.
When I read reviews I compare them to other websites and with Amazon reviews I use the fakespot.com website to get a grade on the quality of reviews. This is not a grade on the product, but a grade on whether the reviews can be trusted or not. Companies do pay people to write fake reviews and pay them to make YouTube videos. So in this day in age you need to take everything with a mine cart of salt and back it all up with knowledgeable research. Going off topic a bit, pharmaceuticals are good at this. They'll create numerous websites all on about how their pill is great and all this and then the consumer is thinking they actually got good information all over the place when in fact they haven't. This is what is called AstroTurf where there's no grassroots to any of their claims.
Something else you should know. Don't be persuaded by so-called "rebates." Don't let that dictate on whether you by this or that part. It's in large part a massive marketing scam. When I bought all of my PC hardware some of it had rebates so I took the time and cut out all of the UPCs and mailed them out. The only rebate check I think I got was from Gigabyte for the motherboard. Everyone else (I'm looking at you Coolermaster) didn't send diddly squat. I hated having to send in the UPC for the motherboard because I had to cut it out of my nice motherboard box which I didn't want to do. Also, many, many years ago I saw on TV from some new magazine TV show which could have been 20/20 with John Stossel talking about how so-called rebates were a rip off. So there you go. And no, the rebates that were offered for the products I bought weren't a bearing on whether I bought that product or not. Seen as how the products had rebates, I just sent in the rebates for the hell of it to see what would happen.
Another thing you should know. Many people all over the Internet claim you'll want to use CPU grease like Arctic Silver or some other expensive stuff. While that may be important to some hardcore PC builders and gamers, it will only reduce the CPU temps down by maybe three degrees. By in large the biggest factor to lower temps is the type of cooler you use and the cooling ability of your case. Knowing this, when I bought my Evo 212 for my CPU I just used the thermal grease that came with the CPU cooler. And something tells me the company may have tested that specific thermal grease with that cooler. Although, it probably doesn't even matter what thermal grease you use. So long as you have something there between the CPU and heatsink.
Anyway. What I would do is research and use pcpartpicker which should give you the cheapest online vendor for that hardware unless of course shipping doesn't merit the cost of individual retailers. Then you would need to find a good, reputable PC shop that will put it all together since you don't want to be bothered building the thing. If nothing else, and if I'm up to it, I can do some research and help you. That ASUS TUF motherboard I talked about may be the ticket, but your USB 3.0 port requirements may be an issue. If you truly do need more USB 3.0 ports than what the motherboard supports, then a good, reputable powered USB hub may suffice. But sometimes those can be problematic depending on what you're doing and how may drives you have connected and their watt requirements. When I bought my powered USB hub I researched by actual ass off and one requirement I wanted was that the power adapter had to be UL listed. After all was said and done I settled for a Sabrent model HB-BU10 bought on Amazon. I only used it for ten USB sound cards and for that purpose it did work.
The other solution to this PC build would be a company that offers already made PCs. But with that you'll probably pay a premium price for something that could have been built yourself cheaper. And I'm certain all of those pre-built PCs are Windows 10 only.
About Adobe. Yeah, I tried their free trial software for web design last year. Can't even remember the damn name of it now. Dreamweaver? But that whole cloud crap and annual cost was a no go for me. I utterly hate the marketing crap of annual subscriptions. And that seems to be the mantra now a days. Bad enough I already pay annually for a website host, Ring door bell, Spotify (had Amazon, kept deleting my songs), Amazon S3 storage and CloudFlare's layer 7 DDoS protection. All that adds up.
What they really mean is "The don't know how!"
