XFX makes garbage. For video Eidting you need either an ATI or Nvidia Workstation video cards and an Asus motherboard, one to go with that CPU is the P5Q Pro. The E8400 is more than capable of video editing but it will depend on the software you use. The Q8400 is a weak sausage processor, if you need Quad Core either go with Intel Q9xxx series or AMD Phenom II.

The recommended Intel quad core is a Q9550 or Q9650.

Don't waste your money on a Maximus. The base P5Q or P5Q Pro is plenty good enough.
