For gaming the i7 7700k would generally offer you the better performance. The video editing performance of an OCed 7700k won't be all that far off a stock 6850k either.

For an OCed 7700k I'd suggest the Noctua cooler. If you want a case with a similar aesthetic to the S340, which won't fit the Noctua, then the Fractal Define S would be a good option.

You might prefer to wait for Intel's Skylake-X stuff to be out and see what the pricing is on that. It would seem to offer better performance for video editing than Broadwell-E, and the mobos will have more features like additional M.2 slots.
