Video Editing Build

Hardware Build a PC
1

Hi,

I'm after some guidance towards a build for a new pc which will mainly be used for video editing with a small amount of gaming, hopefully the details below give enough information to help with this problem as I am unsure whether to go with an i7 or AMD 8350 or similar. 16gb RAM seems to be the number I want to hit also.

Budget: £750 ($1250)
Primary use: Video editing using Premier Pro CC 2014 / After Effects CC 2014 (Also some photoshop use). The footage edited will be acquired from a GoPro & also Elgato
Secondary use: Gaming (Cities Skylines / Civilization / Football Manager) .

Any help with CPU & graphics cards would be greatly appreciated, the budget can be spent entirely on the base unit as I have a monitor (32inch tv) and keyboard & mouse. Preferably a SSD also!

Cheers

Kris

Thanks, looks a nice setup and just over my budget although i'm sure I can shop around for some good deals as i'm purchasing my setup over a couple of weeks.
