Hello ddbtkd456. I will give my 2 cents of what I am running. I originally had a Intel core i5 3570k which I gave my wife for her to have her own desktop built. She games here and there and uses it on a normal day to day basis. I paired it up with a AMD HD 7850 2gb video card.
When I had that CPU, I paired it up with my PNY Nvidia GTX 770 2gb OC. To be completely honest, my computer ran fine for a lot of games. I was able to max out a lot of games and not have any issues. As you can tell, I game on a regular.
So since I gave my wife my old parts and setup, I purchased a AMD FX 8350. Now, the CPU is not bad. People that tell you AMD is better or Intel is better is honestly just boy toy fans for that company. I can tell you first hand that the FX 8350 plays current games better than the Intel core i5 I had. The reason for this is because newer games are getting closer to utilizing the 8 cores on the AMD chip. Not saying that the i5 can't be used to do some hardcore gaming (cause I've done it), I switched to AMD because of the price. I got the chip for about $170 when it was on sale. So with all this being said, I will say its really up to you. Don't listen to what people out there tell you if they are those boy toy die hard fans for Intel/AMD.
I would say if you plan on doing encoding videos and other things that will utilize the 8 cores, I would say go for the AMD FX8350. The AMD FX 8350 will provide you with the ability to do the things you want. The Intel will also work with the normal day end usage, so its really up to you.
Just FYI. My wife gets better FPS on older games. I tested this because we play MMORPGs together. On Tera Online and Guild Wars 2, she hits higher FPS than I do. That could do with either things not being optimized for a certain card/chip or it could be because older games don't even come close to utilizing 8 cores. On newer games like Watch Dogs, my PC will have higher FPS than my wife's computer.
All I can say is, good luck! Hopefully I answered to the best that I can. Your best bet, do research. When I buy anything, not just electronics, I do extensive research and of course; PRICE MATCH!
