Hi,

I need to upgrade a basic home computer i built around 4 years ago for web and email use to something that's capable of handling some video editing in Premiere Pro for a new business i have.

Current parts being re-used or ideally looking to re-use are

Bit Fenix Alpha Gaming Case ATX
OCZ ZS Series 550w Power Supply Bronze
Samsung 830 128GB SSD
Samsung 840 256GB SSD
Samsung Spinpoint 1TB HDD
CD Drive
Keyboard & Mouse
No operating system will be needed

I have a small 20" screen that i would ideally want to replace with a dual monitor setup if i could fit it in but it's at the bottom of the list to be honest. A good size single monitor would be just fine but it's always good to get fancy!

So far from a YouTube and web browsing opinion i have come up with the following spec which i would like to see what the opinion was from those in the know.

- i7 6700K 4.0GHz - Wanted as it's a capable processor with head-room to overclock and make it more future proof
- Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Cooler - Cost effective
- MSI Z170 M5 Gaming Motherboard 1151
- G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-2400 RAM
- EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB SC Gaming Video Card
- I would also need additional from panel mount memory card reader and USB 3.0 features to make using GoPros and Cameras more convenient


Budget at the moment is hovering around £8-900 but if it comes with some lipstick and mascara i will spend more money on her.

Thanks in advance!
