From my personal experience:
I would not get ANY component when it's brandnew. you meintioned before that CPUs are a different story... but the extremely high price just does not justify it.
I used to get everything on the first day.... but over the years changed my view completely.
in your case i would look into a dual processor setup (two midrange i7 Xeons). depending on what you do with your video editing and software package you might be alot better off and even cheaper.
And eventhough many night dissagree I'd recommend more ram. 8 is the minumum if you plannning on doing some highend stuff.
