Can I video edit with an i5-7600k overclocked to 4.5 ghz?

I have 16gb RAM and a gtx 1060 6gb.

what are you trying to edit?

 

[velocityg4]

Edit what? Manuscripts, Videos, Pictures, Code. Hardware wise that system is capable enough for any of those tasks. But you'll need software to perform the editing with.

Videos - sorry I didn't put that

I'm thinking of getting premiere pro cc

Yes you can.
And unless you are doing this all day, every day as part of a paid gig, you probably don't need to pay for Premier Pro.
Try a couple of the good free alternatives. DaVinci Resolve or HitFilm Express.

Get your feet wet first, before spending $$$ on software.
