Hi I hope someone will be able to help.
I am looking to build a video/photo editing pc to edit mainly 4k video on Sony Vegas, lightroom /photoshop for the photos. After considerable research I have narrowed it down to 2 mobo's. These being the Asus M5A99fx pro R2.0 vs Gigabyte 970a rev 1. . The situation is the more I research the more I become confused and as this is my first build, I want to get the foundation of the PC right. I hopw someone can help and may I thank you in advance for your time and assistance. Many thanks, kind regards JF

update soem of the part on my shopping list will be the AMD8350 fx cpu, 32 gb ddr3 1866 ram, Radeon R9 RX 460, 240GB ssd, 120gb ssd, WD blue 2TB drive, i have the case and am still looking at the CPU cooler.
I hope that make my train of thought clearer. thanks again in advance JF

OpenCL is a GPU thing. An AMD GPU may be better for OpenCL, but an Intel CPU will probably be faster. An i5 quad core may outperform your 8350 because it has faster memory, faster PCIe, you can have faster storage. I have an AMD CPU (8320), but I bought it 4 years ago. AMD really hasn't progressed in those 4 years. Intel has. Next year when AMD releases the Zen CPU it might be a different recommendation, but now I would say Intel.

hi the AMD build is really because of budget as I have been informed the the level of processing power i need 8 cores would be way out of my budget. that the old reason , it will be just to exspensive.

Hi forgot to say that another reason that i am going for an AMD platform is because i have been informed that because i use Sony Vegas which use open CL i believe that AMD are working with sony to have each software compliment each other
