And what about the black edition of the 8350 ??

Black edition is the same as the "K" at the end of that 4670, it just means -made for overclocking-

For your needs, I'd say go with the 4670k it is a more powerful processor.

Unless you're doing the above mentioned tasks at the same time, then get the 8350 I heard they perform better when multi tasking.

For Multi-threaded software, which encompasses most rendering packages, etc... You'll typically see better performance with the core count on the 8350. For single threaded operations, the 4670K would prove to be much better.

But...If you're adding in gaming, the 4670K would be the best choice of the 2. It'll still crank out good speeds on the rendering tasks, but the gaming part would be far, far better. Where the gain on the 8350 on rendering wouldn't be as much as the gaming gain on the 4670K.

Recently went from an OC'd 8150 (4.0 GHz) to a 4690K for an ITX build. The performance increase surprised me.

The answer is simple, the 8350. games nowadays are almost always GPU bound and NOT CPU bound so the small gains by going with the Intel on single thread would be vastly outweighed by how much faster your renders will go with the increased core count.

I should know as I have gotten to put both the i5 and the FX8 through their paces and I was impressed enough by how fast my transcoding and video editing went with the extra cores I went out and bought the FX8320E. I went with the 8320E over the 8350 as its easy enough to OC the 8320E to within 8350 ranges but being a 95w part when I don't need the extra speed it just sips power, perfect for my uses. Oh and for gaming I'm running War Thunder, Borderlands the Presequel, Hard Reset and a ton of others with the bling cranked to max at 1080P on an R9 280 and paired with the FX8320E everything is smooth as butter.

Hi, I would go for rendering I5 > FX > I7. (FX 8xxx or 9xxx of course)
Anyway the FX have the best performance / price rating.

Neither. Intel Xeon 1231 V3. I7 Performance with the cost of an i5.
