iMac 5k Retina Storage Options

I am looking to purchase an iMac 5k when it get's refreshed next year.


With the current configuration options unlikely to change I would like to have the fastest possible experience in terms of video processing and storage.


For example I would consider either of the following options with the current specifications:


iMac 5k 3.5Ghz Quad-core i5

8GB RAM (will install my own additional RAM to 32GB as is cheaper)

R9 M295X 4GB GPU


And either the 1TB Fusion Drive


OR the 256GB SSD with a seperate USB3 connected Samsung Evo Pro 1TB


Which would anyone recommend? I cannot even consider the option of 1TB inbuilt SSD as the cost is exponential!


Look forward to your comments.
