Hi guys, having a hard time figuring out the best option between these two computers. I am mainly going to use it for Adobe After Effects. Which one would you go for? They will cost about the same and the main difference is processor and the amount of video cards.

option #1
* CPU:AMD FX-9590 4.70 GHz (5.0GHz Turbo) Eight-Core AM3+ CPU 8MB L2 Cache & Turbo Core Technology [+100]
* VIDEO: 2 X NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card

option #2
*CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4960X Extreme Edition Six-Core 3.60 GHz 15MB Intel Smart Cache LGA2011 (All Venom OC Certified) [+746]
* VIDEO: 1 X NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card

Ae doesn't have a gpu accelerated renderer besides 3d raytracing so you're better off with more cpu power. You could save money with a 4930k. You can save even more by building it yourself or you just get the parts have someone else do it for you.
