Spec me - video editing PC

[RedStarRiot]

Hey All,

Bit out of the loop these days.

Looking to dabble in video editing and want to mess around with 4K content. Initially wanted a laptop but very expensive for what would be needed. I think hooking a desktop up to my 4K TV would be a better idea.

Budget wise I would prefer under £800.

Any help appreciated.

more cores ideal for for editing, chose the 1030 as you need a video card and editing usually tax the cpu mostly, however if a 6 core 1600 will do then you can use that money saving for a better gpu, chose the cheapest board to keep in budget and to have the 8 core, it be a capable machine for the most part either way.
