just from my experience of upgrades since editing on a pentium 4,every time i have upgraded the processor and memory together i have made most gains.
every time i upgrade video card,sfa.

what files are you editing and what are you doing with them.

my main work is editing ex1 and ag/ac 90 footage.
my deadline is extreme but i don't have to grade or use any effects apart from some stabilizing.
files are smooth in timeline even when i grade and render times are in a good range for my deadline.

currently using i7 3930k with 32gig ram,gtx 670.
no plan to upgrade any time soon.

It all depends on the type of work you do in Premiere Pro. Admittedly I'm still a noob with this program (it took me a while to find my way around photoshop, and premiere is just daunting), but on the hardware side, I know that the GPU acceleration comes in handy for certain visual affects, but CPU rendering is still king.

I'm not at home right now, but I recommend trying to shift the budget allocation around on Stout's build by reducing the video card a fair amount to fit a 4770k in the budget. (like a 660 ti/4770k combo if this isn't going to be used for gaming at all). Not sure if it's doable, so if not, reduce the video card, move up to an 8350 (ignore an i5 option), and increase the SSD size.

I'll be home later to mess with the configuration more.
