Hello, I am currently looking for a new workstation graphics card for Final Cut Pro X, and had heard the FirePro GPU's are best as they are OpenCL compatible, but found bad reviews, on w5100's and below. I'm willing to spend enough for a W7100, but only if my workload requires it. Currently I edit 1080p video, but plan to make the leap to 4k. I do use the Adobe Products for Graphic Design like banners, intros, ect. Any help? Here is the system I plan on upgrading:

[1. Yes I know DDR4 Memory works best in Quad Channel, but I don't have the money to go for 64gb right now. 2.I would like a cheaper video card than a 7100, but if it is absolutely necessary I am willing to make the upgrade.]
Thanks so much to whoever can help me, I know very little about Workstation GPU's.
Edit:
I have been absolutely pulling my hair out looking for a solution. The internet apparently has no benchmarks for FirePro graphics on FCP X, and there is no word on how R9 cards do. I am completely lost, as this is my first hackintosh I am making. Some advice would be helpful, thanks so much. I really need it.
