What's the budget? Personally, I'd definitely want faster storage than that, not least as you haven't got a massive amount of RAM so video editing will really benefit from faster storage; I'd expect the same to be true of 3D modelling.

Personally I'd go for the 500GB 980 Pro as the primary drive, and a 1TB 670p as the secondary. Unless you know you need specific features, I'd also suggest getting Windows Home rather than Professional to save a few quid as it's quite niche.

Thanks for the reply, Do i actually need 2 x SSD, i thought perhaps to have one for the operating system. I appreciate the comment about increasing the speed of the ssd. i will do that but i wonder if 1tb 980 pro would suffice. I am looking at under 2k for the budget, i guess.
