    It's a good start.  Add a 1000 series nVidia GPU and four more drives for the following configuration, and you're good to go.

    System

    Projects (project files, audio files, still images)

    Cache & Scratch

    Camera media & proxies

    Exports

    Here is the deal:

    Is the discussion starter going to purchase a laptop or a desktop (tower)?

    You see, most laptops, even VERY EXPENSIVE ones, have only two DIMM slots for RAM. This will (currently) limit the RAM support to 32 GB maximum. In order to accommodate 64 GB of RAM, a system will need four or more DIMM slots - and AFAIK only huge desktop tower motherboards offer that many memory slots.

    You need at least one more hard drive (or SSD) for your video files
