SSD not included, just pick a nice one and spend your remaining budget on it

I'm not as in touch with hardware as I used to be so someone else can handle it.

I mean the above spec comes with a free GRENADE, nothing I come up with could possibly top that

To be clear, the above is essentially a basic "awesome processing power" build, with one of the best NVidia cards around. I don't know about after effects or premiere, but I strongly suspect the above build is overkill more than anything.

It'd also be badass at gaming, if that tempts you at all.

A 580 for video editing? And what about an IPS monitor for colour accuracy and reproduction?

This

Should fill up the remainder of your budget nicely, maybe
