I would personally get a i7 4790k with a z97 motherboard as there is little benefit to ddr4 atm and the i7 4790k is excellent for oc, gaming, editing. The 2 cores on the 5820k don't help that much as of right now. I will be building a z97 with i7 4790k and I was thinking about the 5820k like you but then I thought it isn't worth it as it costs quite a bit more.

What's your budget?

Honestly for light video editing, a bit of photoshop and playing LoL, that build is a bit overkill, you could even get by with a decent build for $850 which would suit your purposes and save a lot of money that way:

That evga psu isn't the best. Also, I'd change the motherboard to a higher quality mobo..
