I'll stay away from FX line right now, the platform is basically dead, it's like getting a 2nd gen i5 right now. They almost never win in gaming, and even in rendering, only a very few programs rely more on cores than core speeds (or core power). Take Sony Vegas or After effects, you'll see i5 renders faster than FX 8. I see no good in going with FX 8 when you can get i5 or Xeon.

Unless you're hoping to get it done as cheap as possible, stick to Intel.

E3-1231V3 is indeed interesting since it is basically an i7 4790 but quite a lot cheaper.
But 100MHz slower and it does not have iGPU. The price of E3-1231 is the compensation for being slightly slow and for not having iGPU.
The 100Mz, you can not notice and the iGPU is not needed, if you plan to use R9 280 or GTX760 anyway.
Like i7 4790, E3-1231V3 is not meant for OC.

E3-1231V3 is more powerful than FX8350 yet also more expensive, so, do you really need it? How professional and how intensive are you going to do the the editing stuffs? Your budget can still fit?

GTX760 and R9 280 are good but the best bang for buck is currently GTX970, just in case you wanna hardcore game with your rig too. GTX970 is more expensive tho'.
