- Go for Xeon E3-1231 V3 (it is an i7 in disguise without built in GPU) + H97 board + Stock cooler
- go for low profile 16GB CL9 1600MHz to save money and get better GPU

Yes much better performance. A lower clocked 4 core CPU is much better than a overclocked dual core for video editing and gaming.
