I will be building a PC which will primarily be used for video editing and maybe some light gaming. I was hoping everyone could tell me if any of these video cards would work. I was wondering how long each would take when paired with either an i7-4470 or an FX-8350.

msi gtx 770 - $399.99
Radeon HD 7950 - $298.28
Radeon HD 7870 XT (runs on the Tahiti architecture) - $229.99

I was also wondering what the difference would be between an i7-4770 and an FX-8350. I want to know how much faster one will render than the other. I want to get into YouTube, so how long would each of these processor + graphics card combinations render a 10 minute YouTube video (approximately 35mb)? Thanks.

I have limited encoding expierence(entirely handbrake). I have found encoding is more dependent on CPU than GPU performance. According with that, I see the 4770K beats the 8350 in handbrake encoding times. And games also get better performance from Intel's superior single threaded performance. If you are on a budget get the Fx-8350, if nto, go for the i7.

Get the GPU you prefer. I would avoid the 7870 XT, and just pay extra to get a 7970. If you prefer Geforce, then get the 770, they are about equal in performance, but the 770 being is more expensive, and the 7970 comes with free games.
