Wanting to put together a PC primarily for Photo & Video editing

My budget is £1500 and I am looking to put together a pc for use with Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Premiere. I currently use a Macbook Pro mid-2014, so I'm hoping I can get a PC that is much faster in performance.

I put together some specs, but I'm not too certain on how well they will all work together, just looking for some advice on what might work better.

The Samsung m2 SM SSD is only a few quid more and a very good and fast drive. Your HDD is only 5900rpm, you could get the WD 4TB which is 7200rpm but will take you a bit over budget or get two standard SATA 2TB 7300rpm drives which will keep you in budget. I would also go for the Silver warranty as it is only a fiver.
