For video editing, updating your bios and upgrading to a 4930k would not be a bad idea, unless the software you us for video editing uses GPU. Sony Vegas, for instance, works really well with GPU. The R9 290 can outperform even titan in that program.

With my current setup I have notice that my system can sometimes slow down a lot when using adobe premiere, even when I shutdown programs running in the background my system struggles at times.
