FX 8 will have performance gains no doubt, i7 or Xeon will be a really good upgrade. i5 will be more or less equal to FX in terms of parallel processing apps like rendering.

The answer as to why AMD is cheaper is that they use 2 cores per module ideology to deduct costs. Each module has 2 cores and both of them share the same resources which results in lesser single core performance and less FPU.
Intel on the other hand use 1 core per module with solid performance and solid virtual cores as well. That's why Intel is good at performance but AMD has better performance/price ratio.

Have you enable GPU acceleration? Vegas Pro can really utilize the GPU to its fullest even while rendering:

Crossfiring will be the best option in multi monitor setup, and your Dual GPU will be a lot better than single GPU due to more VRAM per display and better overall graphics allocation (that's how I call it!)

I would probably want an R9 290 for your triple monitor setup and doing video work like that. BTW, R9 280x and up do really well in Sony Vegas.

You still only have 2gb of ram available in crossfire.

Per display right? I mean one port on one card and another 2 on the other, which'll not have 2GB of VRAM per display.

I would say buy an R9 290 and sell your current 7870. Your board isn't suitable for Crossfire, due to the 2nd gpu slot being limited to x4 speed.

Crossfire doesn't double the amount of ram you have. You will still have 2gb usable ram, across all displays.
