+3 - from the sheer power view...
But be sure to have a good case and adequate cooling, as Vray will tax your CPU to the max, ad that FX is a 125W beast.
Well... If all other things are equal, the i7 3770 beats the FX 8350 75-80s : 100s. And, as we all know, the HT adds around 30-40% computing power /depends on a scenario/... So the score for the i5 should be kinda tied at 100-105s / 100s with a slight favour for the FX.
Cons> You will need to invest in better cooling.
Pros> You can overclock the hell from the FX /something you can't do without a intel K processor/.
Also, there is always Vray RT to consider since it uses GPU and that thing is many times faster than any CPU out there

between the two, the fx8350 will have advantage in those tasks you mentioned.
at the price of fx8350, you might be able to get an fx8320 and a coolermaster hyper 212 evo. or you might able to put more of the budget into the gfx cardcooler/mobo/any other components if you overclock. my 2 cents.

I do not use VRay RT. Just base VRay.
And I heard that overclocking is not good for rendering?

hello friend
what do you think is the best processor for rendering from Intel that can be taken for a budget of 200$ ?
8350rocks

When it comes to rendering...you are right in the wheelhouse of AMD CPUs. A comparable intel CPU at the same $180-190 price point as the FX8350 will come up short. Rendering likes more cores...the more cores you can throw at a rendering rig, the better. That's one of the most taxing activities you can do with a CPU. So you would see the full gamut of performance from the 8350, and if you OC it...you will really get some good performance.
As for intel, well, in that price range, you picked the best one there is...and it would still come up short. If you had a $300 budget for a CPU, we could talk about a 3770k or something along those lines, and it would be a slight amount better for $110-120 more. So the question for you is...would you consider +/-15% faster rendering worth a 60% cost increase? In my mind it's not...but you may think differently.

i am quoting u.s. prices, since i don't know your location/preferred shopping website. prices are different at different places.

a quad core cpu like the one you listed. but it might not be the best. check 3dsmax benches to see which ones are better.
at $200 or lower, you are unlikely to find an intel cpu capable of executing 8 threads at the same time. i don't know about xeons. i still went looking for one on newegg, none of the hyperthreading cpus are under or around $200. most are over $200 and near $300. for example,
xeon e3 1230 $240
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115083
xeon e3 1240 v2 $270
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117285
both of these have hyperthreading support but nowhere near $200. their clockrates are low, you will need to find a motherboard that supports lga1155 xeon cpus, etc.
if you are in the u.s. and can go to a microcenter, you might be able to buy a core i7 3820 (4c/8t) at $230 or core i7 3770k at $250. the only 4c/8t cpu i found was xeon 1230 v2 at $200:
http://www.microcenter.com/product/400271/Xeon_E3_1230V2_33GHz_LGA_1155_Boxed_Processor
i couldn't find any other cpu from intel under $200, better than fx8350 for 3ds max.
i only checked newegg and microcenter. others might be more lucky.
