video editing spec check please

Been out of the loop for a while and need a reasonable build for video editing without breaking the bank.
The max i can spend at the moment is £1000 with a view to upgrading any parts in the future.
I will be mainly working with 4K and 2.7K files and basic editing for basic youtube vids.

I already have a keyboard, mouse and monitor.

would this fit my needs , and does anyone have any recommendations ?

If you could stretch for 1700 would be awesome but 1600 is a cracking chip !
Just of you start getting into the full swing of video editing your a bit more future proofed . Specially when next Olympics wants to shove 8k TV into everyone's face haha

It totally depends on what software you use.

I could go for the 1700 if its a big enough difference.

Nothing fantastic at the moment , just powerdirector 15 and lightroom.

will possibly try out premiere pro though if this system is capable enough

1700 would do Prem pro nicely

looks like i cant stretch to the 1700 bundle quite yet , would the ryzen 1600 build be ok if i upped the ram to 3200 8pack approved ram?
( with a mild overclock of course )
..the other option i have is to go with the 1700 but use the standard ram that comes with the bundle.
