I like both of your ideas but can either of these handle an amount of video editing between light and heavy editing and gaming

[SAV1OUR]

mines optimized for gaming and you should be fine for editing if your worried you can add 16gb but its not going to be noticeable difference

A little over budget but if you save for a couple more weeks I think it makes up for it.

You get an I7 for editing and 16gb of RAM. You can save a lot of cash if you go with an air cooler.

[yourdad165]

Yeah mine is optimized for gaming too, however you could go with 16GB of RAM and maybe get the 4670K and overclock it.

Unless you're stupid insane video editing, you don't need 16 gigs of ram.
