Editing PC Specs?

I know very little about PC specs but I'm looking to get an editing PC for about £1500 or under, could someone give me some ideas of what I would need? I edit on Adobe Premiere and do a little bit on After Effects. Much appreciated!

If you are gaming then the above is good, if not then the 980ti is overkill for the rest of the system for Adobe. I would go for a more balanced x99 system. Something like the below but with a crucial mx200 ssd for media drive - needs to be sourced separately. If you are struggling to get the MX200 into your budget I would drop the GTX 970 to the 960 4Gb to free up cash.
