So I'm almost 100% sure that I'm purchasing the fx 8350 sometime soon. I do a lot of gaming but also a lot of video editing and would love to have the extra cores due to the multitasking. However, I'm concerned about paying dramatically more for power bills per month. Should I be concerned about this? How much more would I pay for energy bills with the fx 8350 as opposed to an i5-3570k for example?

Electricity cost is bill in Kwatthours. The 8350 max will draw 50 to 60 watts more the Intel i5. So over a year maybe $3 to 5 more.
^^ this is why.
Everyone overinflates the numbers to the absolute maximum power draw and pretend that your editing will be doing that much draw 24/7 even when the computer is shut off. Toms has a different approach to testing power draw, total power used doing x work. This is where its 50-60watts during a ~1 hr test run depending on how fast the cpu finished the task.

With normal power saving options on, there isn't a real difference between the newest that Intel and AMD offer. Only when you're actually doing something does the gap widen. According to this review the FX-8350 uses about 90 W more than the i5-3570K at 100% load, so about 1 KWh every 11 hours.
