Hey,
Intel setup IMO.
More:
It completely DEPENDS ON THE GAME which combo works better.
Some games like Skyrim and SC2 are easily bottlenecked by the CPU. Some other games like Tomb Raider are less so. It's also important to note the "LOW FPS" scores in addition to the averages as the weak single thread performance of the AMD CPU's tends more easily to create a sudden stutter due to the CPU being temporarily overwhelmed with code.
I recommend the INTEL combination however since it allows you to upgrade the graphics card later (or Crossfire a used R9-270X for cheap if Crossfire improves which it may) but the AMD setup will remain a bottleneck for many current games and in the near future due to the poor single-thread performance.
Obviously you can replace the CPU but there are no good options aside from going Intel which then requires a new motherboard as well and reinstallation of Windows (W8 bought by yourself is transferable and W10 will be a free update to W7/W8 regardless).
(I don't think telling him to simply spend MORE MONEY is the best solution. He obviously has a budget.)
