what's a good cpu (intel or amd) for video rendering and gaming

The i5-3350p is one of the best CPUs for gaming, for your money. If you plan to overclock, then get the i5-3570k.

If you're on a budget, go with an FX-6300.

This guide hopefully will answer any questions you may have.

Strictly gaming, then an i5, but with the combo of gaming and rendering an i7 (4770, 4770K, 3770K ) is worth it if you do a lot of rendering and if the budget allows for it, if not then go to the 8350 or 8320, both are very good at rendering and more than sufficient for gaming
