For the price of a D700 or D3, you could get a used D3200, 3300 or D7100 for video mode. Won't be full frame video but how serious of video do you plan to shoot?
D800 video pretty much gets you ability to do more shallow depth of field over the DX cameras. Still can get shallow DOF with DX but some people like that extra bit.
It will all come down to what the shooting demands are.
I have a high priority on AF accuracy, I even switched from Canon to Nikon because of it. I then use the D800 for my non-action work. If I could get both, that would be great but I am ok with the split duties.
If I had to do it with just one camera, I would get a used D800.
