Skyline system for $1,200?

[Proxence]

Hello, I'm looking into purchasing a skylake system that will be used for editing videos on a daily basis, producing 3d art, and recording/Livestreaming games at 1080p and 60fps.
I'm not sure what would be the best stuff for it at this price range. By budget is 1.2k without the os because I already have it.

Do you need a monitor and other peripherals? What do you need aside from the tower?

Nope just the tower, everything else i've got already.

Here's a top performing system. Add SSD when you get some extra money.

I'd go with this, but I would hold out on buying the GPU. Nvidia's Pascal GPUs are coming out next year, and they are supposed to blow everything currently out there out of the water.

Problem is I can't wait as much as I want to. My current pc is nearing its end, and its not even a pc, its a laptop. And its not cutting it anymore, so I need this new pc asap.

Yes, but there is always something just over the horizon:

Titanium rated power supplies in the 500 to 850 W range

Kaby Lake Intel processors followed by 10nm Cannon Lake ones.

AMD's Zen processors with 40% more cycles per clock

Finfet GPU's from both sides

Ever cheaper and better SSD's

Ever cheaper and larger HDD's.

Better/cheaper RAM

etc. etc. etc.

I'm not getting my computer until the end of november, so if anything comes before then I might get that, but for now I just need something that is going to work for at least 2/3 years. Because there really isn't much you can do with a bad laptop now adays.
