Hello

Is it a good idea to have a 2nd pc for helping with 3D design, rendering and video editing?

The 4790K is like 80% faster than the 8350 in CPU intensive view-port operations. I think you''re better off starting with the i7.

...So either a Intel cpu and mb for about 540 dollars
Or a FX 8350 and mb for 336 dollars.

Would one pc with the FX 8350 cover me for modeling and rendering until I get a Intel build?

Or should I go for a i7 4790K first ?

I would get the FX-8350, even if it is a couple years old and being phased out. I have it, and the eight 4GHz cores render in Blender's Cycles engine (similar to V-Ray) only about 4-5 times slower than my GTX Titan Black. It definitely is a great deal for the power/money ratio!
