I am choosing between 2 pc configurations, which is better/more future proof?

Intel Core I5-4570
AsRock B85 Pro4
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Radeon HD 7970 GHZ Edition 3GB
NZXT Gaming Phantom
OCZ Gaming Fatal1ty 750 W
Lite-on DVD drive (not sure what one, it costs $18)
Windows 8

Or


AMD FX-8350 4.0 GHZ
ASRock 970 Extreme3 motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB
Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Radeon HD 7970 GHZ Edition 3GB
NZXT Gaming Phantom
OCZ Gaming Fatal1ty 750 W
Lite-on DVD drive (same one)
Windows 8

Also, I am moving from an Xbox 360 to the pc. I would rather have one that performs faster on everything else even if it sacrifices some gaming performance, since it will be better than my Xbox anyways. Also, how will these compare to the new upcoming consoles? Thanks!!!

I would say that neither of those builds are very future proof. You Intel build motherboard only has one third gen pci-e slot, and the second pci-e 2.0 slot is only running at x4. The same goes for the second AMD build's motherboard. The 970 chip-set isn't really suited for future proofing because it doesn't go well with crossfire. I would go with this one if you have any extra money.
