Well, here's a build with enough RAM for editing and a strong CPU for some heavy programs. Also a great gpu for gaming, with lots of CUDA cores (if any of your programs can utilize those). I've left enough headroom for any OS you might want to buy, but if you already have the OS, then you should add a "Noctua NH-D14" cpu cooler

PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3yqpj

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($299.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87MX-D3H Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($124.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($129.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($80.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB...
For video rendering, you want an awesome cpu, good gpu and 16 gb of ram. When I render videos, my i5 4670k runs at 99.9%. I would say go for i7 4770k, gtx 760, 16 gb 2133mhz of gdd3 ram. The rest of the parts you can choose based on your budget and compatibility to these parts.

Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB TWIN FROZR Video Card ($329.99 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair 350D Window MicroATX Mid Tower Case ($99.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($79.50 @ Amazon)
Total: $1202.43

EDIT: if you think you're not going to need the GTX 770, then please tell me, so i can try fitting some even beefier CPU's in this budget (though it's likely not possible).

EDIT2: Here's a i7-4930K CPU crammed down to almost fit within your budget ($1350): http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3yqR6
Would be faster when editing but quite a bit slower (still faster than a 650 ti boost) in games. :)
