Here is a site by site comparison of the boards http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007627%2050001315%20600093976%20600158412&IsNodeId=1&bop=And&CompareItemList=280|13-131-729^13-131-729-TS%2C13-131-730^13-131-730-TS
Looks to be a nice system, maybe consider dropping down to I5 2500K which equals the 2600K in gaming since you only do basic movie editing.

Thanks.

I'll switch to a P8Z68-V Pro but I'll stick with the 2600K for bragging rights.

Lol, not a bad choice future games might be able to use the hyper threading as well.

Are you set at using Nvidia or will you consider AMD. The new AMD cards have better multi GPU scaling than Nvidia cards, but the setup you have there is good.

I'd prefer to stick with NVIDIA.
