What's your budget? I'd be inclined to suggest a 3820 over a 2600K if I knew that - that would be better in the long run for rendering purposes.

The 2600K is just as good as the 3820. The 3820 just has more cache and is still quad-core. Save the $100 and get a 580. For video rendering, 8GB is nothing. Best to get 16GB.

OK I hate to sound a bit hypocritical as I normally hate waiting but if you're going to pay the money for a 580 - when the 670 is out in a couple of weeks and will be priced between 7870 and 7950 range, wouldn't you rather have that?
