This is one of the most popular arguments in cpu's but never-the-less i need help!
Here's my current rig I plan on getting:
cpu- i5 4670k or fx 8350
gpu- r9 290 toxic
hdd- 1tb caviar blue
Mobo- GIGABYTE Z97P-D3
psu- xfx 650w xxx pro
Ram- Gskill ares 2x4gb sticks

So I will mainly be gaming on battlefield 4 and video editing. However, I want the system to be future proof and I dont want any bottlenecking. So here is what I want to know:
1) Will the fx 8350 cost me performance in the long run? If so how dramatic will it be?
2) Is the i5 4670k worth the extra £50?
3) Will the fx 8350 bottleneck my r9 290?
4) Overall what do you recommend, I really want to save some money and this is the main area where I feel i could save a fair bit. I dont want to cut down and regret it, but i dont want to spend extra on a cpu that wont really have a big effect.
The very last one would be the fact that I plan on cross-firing the r9 290s down the line about 3+yearswhen they start slowing down, and was wondering if the fx 8350 would bottleneck them and would an i5 4670k as well?
