£1500 PC build

[Rminum]

So I'm no stranger to building a PC, I'm not well versed but I'm no stranger. My first and current build is a budget build that took me a year to finish because I didn't have a job at the time of making it, it's specs if you're interested are as follows -

 

CPU: AMD A8-7600(Yes I know, athlon x4 860k would have been better, live and learn)

MOBO: ASUS A88XM-A(Actually believe this is a brilliant motherboard for the money on FM2+)

RAM: 2 sticks 8 gigs for dual channel DDR3 1866mhz Kingston Fury

GPU: GTX 960 Strix (It was originally a GTX 750 but I had some spare cash floating around a few months back)

HDD: A shitty ass laptop hard drive at 320gb. Budget af

PSU: CORSAIR VS550 (Which once again was an upgrade when the one I had in my previous case came bundled blew. I know shocker right? pun intended)

 

Anyway now that I'm working again I was looking into building a PC I could use as all round as I could get it. I'm thinking about creating content for youtube so I wanted something that could handle video editing rather easily, and be able to game some AAA titles. Now keep in mind that if this build is a great build to go with I wont exactly be running straight to my local maplins to buy every part out right so each part will be bought over time and as such I don't mind saving a few extra pennies here and there for something a bit better. I was wondering what you guys thought of this build, and what limitations am I looking at? could I improve this with no MAJOR bumps in cost?

 

This is the build:

Why 2 250gb ssds? Just get 1 500gb ssd if you need the storage space. Get 2x8gb instead of 4x4gb, you won't find a performance increase with 4x4 since your mobo doesn't support quad channel and you get to save 2 slots for later. Also, get the gtx 1070 instead of the older gtx 980ti. And 850w is overkill btw, get a 500-650w psu or 750w for SLI instead.

Oh I must have posted the wrong link ahah, I had opted for a 500gb ssd instead of a 1tb and decided for a m.2 for boot 

850w was for overclocking head room and possible sli in the future, plus in the fully modular category it wasn't much more than the 650w I was originally looking at

A 650w psu is enough for SLI, 850w is pointless now. At most 750w if you need.

Go with a newer card and a lesser power supply. Consider an air cooler.

These builds are awesome for the money, so now I'm curious about the first one. I know gaming favours fewer faster cores and editing favours more cores so the question now is will I see a major bottleneck in the gaming side if I opted for the 5820k over the 6700k?

6700K will be the best option I would say, it hyper threads to 8 virtual cores which is plenty

not at all, the 5820k will be better for editing/streaming/rendering, and gaming performance should be very similar.

Thank you for your response, I

Thank you for your responses and help  Thanks to everyone really, looking at these builds has really helped me decide on what to go with. I'll most likely go for the 5820k but may even beef up in the GPU area of things undecided on that yet but thank you very much
