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.

I'm taking .mov files straight out of a DSLR (Nikon D800; I expect to add a 2nd camera later this year) and editing them for corporate promotional videos. Interview style, with the same look and feel as 60 Minutes using soft-box studio lights with the questioner off-camera. Most are 720p. Also doing 1080p 15s and 30s for Cable TV spots. Occasionally longer projects. Doing cuts and adding transitions/effects as well as image enhancements. Also shooting subjects against a green-screen and applying Chroma Key (Premiere Pro does a beautiful job with that) and adding motion backgrounds, layers and music tracks. Exporting finals to H.264 (MP4s). Hosting on Vimeo and embed on websites or Facebook .

I think if you read up you will see an 8350 is actually prefered by many for Adobe Programs due to the 8 cores vs 4.

ETA: That being said, and after I did some more digging, it does seem you can cut back on the GPU that I listed.
