... Thats not a 5820.
Speaking from experience having done a lot of editing/gaming with a 6700k:
1. Does well on the gaming front across the board, modern games are going to be more dependent on your GPU given the increasing size of textures so don't expect miracles there.
2. Editing, it works fine - talking about actually EDITING not rendering. The biggest improvements as stated above are having good RAM and more of it to cache more of the timeline and provide smoother experience there. SSD/M.2 also highly important to improve read/write speed, depending on the editing software there are various options to 'prerender' (timeline only) and speed things up.
3. Encoding, its not the greatest so if it is your only rig and you plan to edit/wait so you can use the PC again then yes it might slow you down. Its going to depend heavily on the size/length of the source/render and how many complex effects are being encoded. The increased cores will be more beneficial here...
4. GPU acceleration in rendering - pretty well ignore it, its not going to do much. For example i've got 2 x 1080s and your GPU usage when rendering will be minimal 5-10% I imagine.
In summary i've toyed with the idea of swapping over to X99 but being realistic I would only do it for something like a 6950 and frankly the cost of the chip I just can't swallow for the performance gain.
Hope it helps...
Small edit: Not really sure you'll be able to get the CPU/board and DDR4 RAM for that budget fella... But no idea what you run now.

5930k is pretty good stand in the extra pci-e lanes won't have an effect in almost any scenario here and the stock clock difference is 200Mhz over a 5820k
Personally would rather see the overclocked results.... Haswell-e hex's overclock a lot more (as a proportion of their stock speed) that skylake 6700k's
3.3Ghz(3.6 turbo) to circa 4.5Ghz of for the 5820k is a bigger gain than
4.0Ghz (4.2 turbo) to circa 4.6-4.7Ghz for a 6700k
It's a waste to game on a haswell- e hex and not overclock it!
Overclocked the average 5820k is pretty much indistinguishable from a 5930k whilst gaming as they both reach similar OC frequencies (on average) and if using only one card both run at pci-e 16 and even under sli running the second card at x8 makes very little difference to performance
Regardless you will be doing very well to get either setup for £250 as stated 5820k's alone go for £250-£270 on the mm

Exactly.
I asked for a bench he failed to provide me with one
didnt provide as you dont seem to understand its better regardless
