I currently have a build list ready to buy whenever but it just one I threw together on pcpartpicker, but I don't have the knowledge that some of the people on these forums have and could be making a massive mistake.

This rig will be for editing in Photoshop,cinema4d and after effects also for streaming games from time to time, this includes any big titles to come out In the future.

Currently id only like to spend £1750 on this rig with an absolute maximum of £2000 this includes a 1440p monitor to go with the build.

I'd prefer if the parts could be purchased on Amazon as I like next day delivery if possible.

Here is what I've come up with so far

I have a harddrive and ssd already bought and also 8gb of kingstone fury black ram.

Thanks alot!

It's mainly supply and demand right now - the i7-6700K is very high in demand. Surprisingly it's actually easier to come by in the UK than it is here in the States - most stores here have it sold out in multiple places, but PC Part Picker lists several places in the UK that have it in stock. If you're ready to buy, go for the 4790K, if you can wait a bit, by all means get the 6700K.

Try this if you must have the 4790K:

You've got the budget, you should get bare minimum a GTX 980TI. Also go with Sky Lake. This would be a much better build for the budget you have, and should give you plenty of quid left over for a 1440P monitor (and you can get much cheaper 1440P monitors than that ridiculous £550 Asus ROG one) and whatever keyboard and mouse you want:
