I would recommend a full desktop pc for those demands, though this is also dependent on how heavy your usage are for those softwares.

What is the budget you're working on?

Thats very difficult without a roundabout figure >< Will your equire a monitor, keyboard, mouse or any other peripherals?

I would recommend the Intel Gaming Mini PC with 8GB ram, totaling under £800 without peripherals. You may want to up the CPU to a 2600S for Hyperthreading as Vegas will make use of the additional threads.

The 560Ti hits a sweet spot performance wise. Unless you want to experience considerably reduced performance with high detail settings, i would not recommend downgrading to a 550Ti or below.
