I have a £600-£700 budget for an editing PC(easily edit 1080p), that can run games above 30fps. What is the best spec I can get for my money? Thanks for any advice.
(is the budget too optimistic)
Edit: some one has made this spec for me does anyone have any improvements on it?

AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor
£134.99
MSI - B350 TOMAHAWK ATX AM4 Motherboard
£80.99
Corsair - Vengeance LPX 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory
£147.59
Kingston - A400 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
£29.90
Western Digital - Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

Total(at time of writing this comment):£671.35

Solution
For 700 pounds (= 950 dollars) this is the best I can do for 1080p editing. It will run most 1080p games at 60+ fps, but the ram is limited.
You will need to upgrade to 16GB for a true editing experience.

EDIT: 1st gen Ryzen is outdated, but I suppose it is ok at this price.
A 120GB SSD will fill up quickly and won't help you at this price range.
Instead, put the money on a 1050Ti: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/7Ks8TW/gigabyte-geforce-gtx-1050-ti-4gb-video-card-gv-n105toc-4gd
@Lucky , it's not that they wont.
It's that the 1700 costs 50% more while being 25% more powerful.

That makes it comparatively bad value.
Plus the fact that for this kind of use the 1600 is still very very good anyway,as a ryzen 7 owner myself I would still urge anyone outside of a semi/professional working environment to go for the ryzen 1600 on a price / performance ratio.
99% of the time those extra threads on the1700 will go unused.
 


so would you recommend going to the gtx 160 3gb
 
^ at medium settings the 1050ti will hit 60fps on pretty much any title.

So it depends on your expectations ,your original quote was '30fps' which the 1050ti will more than manage.

Hard with gpu's at the minute , personally I dont think the 1060 3gb is worth a £60 price jump.

Up to you really though.
