My work will mainly be in Adobe Premiere Pro(will probably use plug-ins like DaVinci Resolve), Photoshop CS6. Light-weight work in Lumion and rendering work in Sketch Up, V-ray and Rhino. NO GAMING.

I dont mind paying the extra money for the i7 4770, but i want to know if it is worth it. Will the FX 8350 suffice? And will it cause a proportionate increase in expenditure making me buy a better cooling system and a better cabinet? Basically i dont want trouble. I just want rock-solid and consistent performance without too much of haggling.

Also, since i'm buying a graphics card anyway, is xeon E31230 V3 a good option?
