"...video editing software "

What software is that? Do you use GPU acceleration/rendering?

 

[kingmike33]

Video editing i use Sony Vegas other programs i tend to try and run alot is Photoshop After Effects Cinema 4D and a few others. There are some i have to run every now and again too. Yes I will be rendering video for production so it would be great if it could do it at a great speed. Anything else please just let me know.

if you still have money left over, throw in a second gtx 560 ti, and you will be good to go

 

[mosox]

So, you get his video card?

Change with this

Or get what genghiskron said I don't think you need the 2600K.

 

[genghiskron]

oh if you get your bros 560 ti, double up with this one (same card w/ lifetime warranty and for some reason much cheaper):

not that you need the exact same card to SLI, but it doesnt hurt, and it looks better. if you end up going that route, id go with this cpu cooler instead:
