Both are good, I think gtx 1660 is slightly faster. And yes, you would benefit greatly from 16GB ram. You should probably buy a 16GB kit (8+8GB) instead of buying a single 8GB and using 2 different ram sticks in your system, so there won't be any problems. Ram is pretty cheap right now too. Speed doesn't really matter with your CPU I'd say.

1660 is slightly faster in raw performance, however the 580/590 both have 8GB of VRAM vs the 6GB and for video editing the extra VRAM will make a huge difference. So i would still go with 580/590, keep in mind the 590 is the same performance (slightly better) as the 1660.

Completely agree, latency and speed are no big deal in Intel rigs. I have to say that you might want to pave the way for a future mobo+cpu upgrade. CPUs with higher cores and threads count are really beneficial when rendering your projects.
