Probably a stupid question but I can't find any good explanations via Google.

I'm planning to buy a 280x or 770. If someone could explain the pros and cons of each (with respect to the software) or link me to a good explanation I'd be very grateful.
 
Adobe Premiere and After Effects supports CUDA so nvidia may give the edge but with these products a decent CPU and lots of RAM are more beneficial. 8gb minimum 16gb or above preferred.

I've used both extensively and find that regardless of card or CPU the amount of RAM has been the performance factor.
 
nVidia.

The r290 cards are supported in Open CL, but I have yet to see Open CL outperform CUDA and I very much doubt it will ever happen.
 
I've not written a single line of OpenCL code but I've used CUDA and can confirm that it is a very impressive programming model. The performance increases in the particle simulations that I run using CUDA are significant, and I've heard that the use of CUDA acceleration in applications such as Photoshop is pretty good too - therefore I'd imagine you would benefit quite a lot from using an Nvidia card for the programs you mentioned in the OP.
