I need a pc which will be mainly used for video editing and some gaming. I am willing to grab an i5 now and buy an i7 in the future however with gpu i'd like to need to upgrade that. The absolute max price is £800 and all parts must be bought from amazon.co.uk

Many thanks :)

The RAM you'll have to get from another e-tailer, but the rest should be good.
This is the best value you're going to get.

Solution
SSHDs don't perform very well, and the extra speed won't give any benefits to other applications, a separate SSD and HDD is still the best choice.
You've included a locked processor with an overclocking board, a way overkill CPU cooler, a crap SSD, and a very poor performance graphics card...
Why?

ac, if you want me to go into depth about the shortcomings of your build i'm happy to.
The motherboard is unsuitable, as the CPU has a locked core, and therefore the OC feature will not be used.
The cooler is way overkill, I wouldn't even spend that much on cooling a 6600k.
The graphics card is severely underpowered for an 800 pound build.
There is only 8GB of RAM, and a small SSD which should optimally be 240GB.
The case has poor build quality and cooling, and is only there due to personal bias.
The PSU is overpriced for OP's need and the budget range, the system you listed will only draw around 200w.
The external storage capacities are silly, and OP never asked for it anyway, so I don't know why you've included them.
It's not a solid build, you need to wake up to the reality of the situation if you want to improve on your builds, otherwise I can't help you.

Chugalug_

i will upgrade the gpu and cpu 2 a k version. and ram also the ssd storage. the mobo is sweet im happy with it the cooler looks the beast on the build. im not going at you just you post answers and so do i.
at the time i was just buying parts well every1 else is saying its a sweet build up 2 the person building it. what they like
 
This says otherwise...
"who cares what you think. i know iv a good solid build"
I'm giving critique and valid statistical answers, a 750ti is a budget entry level graphics card while the 6600k is high end.
The storage is also unwarranted, and I asked "why so many external HDDS?".
I'm still not sure what you're trying to say, but its best to just move on at this point. :)
