You currently have a great setup.  I'd recommend waiting until your want becomes a need.  Until then you could possibly satisfy the upgrade itch by grabbing the 420 GB SSD that you want.  It'll easily transfer over to the new build when you decide that you need it.  That alone will have a nice impact on overall performance.

only thing i would say to do is go up to a i7 4790 or something. it'd help you with editing. Plus a 980ti or a pascal card would be good for GPU, and if you really want a SSD i wouldn't spend so much on a 1TB one, i would just get a 512 or maybe a 120 as a boot drive? 2x 1TB HDD is fine for what you're doing, frankly. you'd just see some faster rendering speeds if you went to a 1TB ssd, but it'd be half the storage you had.
