Hello eveyone, I need some help with upgrading my pc. This pc is used for heavy gaming as well as 3d rendering/animation. Would the FX 8350 be a worthy upgrade from my I7 920 C0? I'm installing a custom water cooling loop, so there will be overclocking.

Well if you OC the 8350 then it could be a good upgrade assuming the rendering/animation application play will with mulit core and are no heavly single threaded (which they shouldn't be).
Though depending on the rest of your system there maybe other area's that offer better bang for your buck.

Well, right now my system looks like this:
Case: Xclio Windtunnel advanced ( Moving to nzxt switch)
I7 920 C0
6Gb G.Skill Ram 1600
Msi X58 pro e
Hd 7950
I will be adding a SSD and more ram as well. Programs i use are: Photoshop, 3ds max 2012, Motion builder.

In Motion Builder and 3DSmax, you would see a sizable gain in performance. For a rendering rig, SSD is good, but you'll want more RAM as well. Make sure you go to at bare minimum 8 GB, if you can do it at all get 16 GB. The HD 7950 is a good card, should be fine there.
Honestly, rendering is one of the areas where the 8350 really shines, as you can fully utilize all 8 cores with 3DSmax and Motion Builder, photoshop is good program for the AMD FX series as well, adobe builds a lot of optimizations for AMD architecture into each new release.

Hmm...not sure if serious, or trolling...?

If you're serious...then you are uninformed, or uneducated on the matter. The 920 lags behind the 8350 in 3DSmax across the board...

There's the anandtech.com benches...which are the Intel benchmark bible...and the numbers don't lie.
The FX 8350 is anywhere from 30-100% faster than the i7-920. That sounds like a massive jump in performance to me...
Yeah people need to remember this is the older i7 920 and he's not just talking about gaming or using single threaded apps not to mention he talking about water loop so he should be able to get to 4.5 -5.0 so yeah 20%+ increase in rending jobs to seems like it would be worth it. If you go from say a 5hr rending job to 4hrs thats no bad at all.

Its an improvement, but he could just get free performance by overclocking. The 920 can hit 3.8-4ghz.
It would be in this territory http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/99?vs=697
