Help pick for a i5 processor

I've just started building my own rig and I'm left with some things to get. I'm confused of which I should buy without blowing my budget. I'd like to know which would be great for both gaming and video editing. I'm planning for some heavy use and such. :)
So far I have a asus b85-pro gamer motherboard.
Any recommendations?
 
Not taking suffixes into account, get the one with the highest number you can afford. Then, look at the suffixes. Do you need overclocking (Probably not), low power, better iGPU (Again, probably not) etc etc.

You'll probably end up with a CPU with no suffix, or a "K" (Unlocked) processor. If you're still not sure, use the above to pick one or two and post them here. If you could stretch a bit, you could grab something like an i7 or Xeon for better* performance in video editing.

Probably I can get the "K" ones,
Many thanks for the info!
