are you maxed out budget wise? How demanding do you anticipate the video editing will be?

I'd definitely advise dropping the 'k' variant to the normal 4670 as the k only helps if overclocking. Overall it looks quite good, you might not need the 750ti unless you plan on gaming, for video editing you may get more benefit from an i7 4770 rather than the 750ti.

Thanks for the response Mantadog! My budget is around £1000, so have a bit more to spend if it would be beneficial.
The video editing will be fairly minor in honesty; probably just editing some footage and maybe making a few music videos here and there.
And no I don't plan on doing any gaming.
Thanks for the advice on the 'k' variant, very helpful!
I'm pretty clueless about graphics cards, do you think I'm possibly going overboard with this one if I'm not planning on gaming? Would you suggest another if so?
Thank you so much for your time and help, it is greatly appreciated!

A GPU like the GTX series perform computations to create the graphics they are needed for. When you view a video you are just playing back pre-created data. I think the i5 integrated graphics will show you Windows as well as the most powerful GPU would (on a 1080p screen), and I don't think you would see any difference in video playback. Take a look at some of the Youtube videos that demonstrate the integrated graphics, most of them show games, but that is a lot more graphic intensive then your intended uses.
You could try the integrated graphics and get a GPU later if you need it.

Thank you Spuff, just watched a few videos, think I know exactly what I need now.
Gonna make the order.
Cheers for the help you two.
