If you want more power on the editing side you can replace the 1060 with 1050 and the i3 with a i5.

it depends...

if you want great preformance for a good price then go with i5 6500 (plz don't go with i5 6400 cuz it's a big drop in preformance

3.20Ghz-3.60Ghz -> 2.70Ghz-3.30Ghz) just isn't worth it :P... or if you want to be more future proof you can get the i5 6600k so you can overclock it later.

 

Edit: oh and when you're editing you want over that 3.00Ghz on the cpu

Does Ghz on the cpu, dramatically reduces performance on editing?

it does make it faster... and i forgot i5 has hyperthreading which means that it can make twice as much work.

 

you can buy the i5 6400 if you are on a very tight budget but... it's 2016  

 

3.00Ghz should be the main speed these days in my opinion.

i5 does not have hyperthreading. the i7 are the quad cores that support hyperthreading for intel.
