I'm am looking to build a new custom PC for gaming, video editing and rendering. My budget is 1000-2000 USD. I would prefer a red and black color scheme. 

Sure, does the budget include a monitor, os and keyboard/mouse or will you get that sperate?

At which resolution, your budget allows for anything really but which are you going for 1080 1440 4k and are you including a monitor in your buget etc

My current monitor is 1080p but in the future I'm planning to get a 1440p or 4K monitor.

So i kinda maxed out your budget here (almost) If you want to save some cash and still get banging performance then get an i7 6700 non k and a simple cooler like a hyper 212 evo, but you wont be able to OC. But i dont think OC is worth like 200 bucks imo

Well 1440p would take about 70ish% (1400-1500) of your max budget while 4k is basically all, and you could always flip (<-sell to upgrade) your gpu if the next gpu gen is great so I'd probably shoot for 1440p with a 980ti and an i7 (5820k would be good for this).

The memory controller of the Haswell-E isn't very robust. Some cannot run RAM faster than 2800MHz.

I wasn't aware of that, but its easily rectifiable by just selecting a lower ram speed. At least this way the OP will still have fast ram for future CPU swaps (Broadwell/Skylake E)

Constructive thanks ... however as the OP is going to be video editing and rendering I can't recommend the 6700k over the 5820K, also 8gb ram is pretty poor for the work the op is doing, so Ive stuck with 32Gb but reduced the cost ..
