Which cards do I buy?

Hello,

I am looking to build a workstation and am looking for the best performing amd video cards to put in it (up to 3 of them).

I expect to process videos using h.264 (ffmpeg, handbrake, etc...).
I expect to render using blender or whatever software I would have to use.
I want the fastest encoding/decoding for h.264 I can get.
Obviously I would expect to be using opencl 2.0.

If this involves video cards costing $3000 a piece then I'd like a recommendation for the best low cost cards also.
I am mostly concerned with speed.
It concerns me that some of the benchmarks for lower cost cards are twice as fast as certain workstation cards.
I want to make the right choice the first time.
It's a lot of money to spend.

Thanks
