You may change to Skylake processor, suitable motherboard and DDR4 RAM. This would cost you roughly 2500 more. Apart from this get a 250/256GB SSD. Total would be around 70k with this changes. With remaining 10-15k, choose best possible GFX card for his work. I am not very sure if Quadro would come in to picture here. If not GTX970 is perfect pick.
 
Just one question, are you a professional? In sound editing? Or just normal cut-copy-paste? Do you already have good speakers?
