For video editing and graphics design your RX 480 should be sufficient for the next several years. If you really wanted to you could upgrade it, but I don't think it's a good time to do that just for video editing.

This should cover the main points of a future proof video editing build. You could add hard drives, case, fans, etc.

A sleek workstation pimped by RGB. I also fit in a decent monitor. You can size down on the monitor/rgb to get a 1TB ssd like as volkgren said. Might want to make the motherboard a B450, but for this time, B350 is decent, except for the upgrade path.

The SSD is of lower quality, your choice to change the SSD to a 970 while downgrading to a 1070TI.

[Zerk2012]

That would really depend on the specific programs your using.

 

[coozie7]

Good point from Zerk2012: Quite a few of the common editing suites greatly prefer an Intel build, and some can be greatly accelerated with a faster graphics card.

You give your budget in Euro, which country are you in? Prices and availability vary significantly.

Assuming our software likes Intel over AMD and it will benefit significantly from a more powerful GPU AND you don't particulary want to overclock:

Prices in euro but from Germany:

[volkgren]

With single-threaded performance of Ryzen, especially 2nd-gen Ryzen and with the rumors regarding the huge IPC increase of 3rd-gen Ryzen in certain compute tasks; I'm not sure if there are such things as Intel preferred suites any longer. I could be wrong though.

 

[anthmdnb]

@couzie7 I'm in Luxembourg, I forgot to mention my case which is a carbide 400r from Corsair, it's quite heavy because it's made of steel, I like your recommendation seems like a very good upgrade, I'm not interested in overclocking, I might change the CPU to a ryzen one, but for now I think your recommendation fits my needs.

 

[coozie7]

@ Volkgren, both Sony Vegas and Adobe Premier prefer Intel over AMD, although the differences are smaller than they once were.
We'll see whet Zen 2 has to offer later, but the rumours and pre release data looks promising.

@ Anthmdnb: Check pricing carefully, parts prices can vary significantly, even day-to-day and study your software documentation, you may not need a big, expensive GTX 1080 for your uses, or 32Gb of RA?M for that matter.

Note the price increase of the Intel build:
