Well if video editing is a higher priority then I'll say go ahead with the i7, if you want to squeeze a little more value for gaming. I would reccomend that you drop the CPU for an i5-3570K and put the extra 70$ for a better GPU.
As far as I know the only benefit you get with an i7 is 2MB extra for your L3 cache and Hyper-threading. The 3570K will allow you room for overclocking to squeeze a little more performance out of your CPU.
That's just how I would do it though
