Well, the "best" would be the i7-870, but you didn't specify your budget.

PS: By today's standard your GPU is actually low-mid range.

If you don't want to upgrade your motherboard too; getting the i7 870 would be your best option hands down. Editing power is more CPU based than GPU too so you're correct there.
