I am planning to swap my brand-new ASUS Laptop x550ZE to a desktop. But I need help which one should I take.

On the Blue Corner:
Processor: i7 3770
MOBO: MSI B75MA-P45
Vcard: ATI RADEON HD 5770 1gb ddr5 128bit
RAM: Kingston Hyper Fury X 2x4gb 1600
HD: 1TB
PSU: CIVO 700W
CPU Cooler: Deep cool, Ice Blade Pro V2.0
Case: Orion Mid Tower
Includes 3 120MM Deep Cool Fans with blue Led and 1 120MM fan red LED
FREEBIES: Razer Keyboard + Edifier soun x100
1.6 years old

On the Red Corner

PROCESSOR: amd fx 6300 6 cores
MOBO: msi 970 gaming board
Vcard: r9 280x
RAM:8gb ram hyper x blue fury
HD: 500gb hdd
CASE: aerocool templarius telum plus nzxt fan controller
PSU: corsair vx 650
2.11 years old

They agreed to exchance with my in warranty ASUS x550ZE gaming laptop ($700)
A10 7400P
r5 m230 + r6 = Dual graphics crossfire.
8 GB RAM
1TB HDD

I am a video editor but also a gamer. My friends told me to take the AMD while some says INTEL for video editing but the graphics card would be useless in adobe premiere. Adobe premiere also supports r9 280X.

I would go with the Intel-Build and just swap the GPU in the future, as there is no need to swap the CPU in the Blue Corner. The i7 is even more powerful than a AMD FX 8320 and the Mainboard+PSU should support a better GPU. For the ,moment you have to suffer through the HD5770, but it should be better in the long run. Put a r9 380 in the Intel-Setup and it's the better build overall.

get a r9 380 with an amd fx 8320. if you get the red one, you will never be able to upgrade a gpu, because the 970 is all the 6300 can handle without a bottleneck. you have much room to work with if you go with my idea. you could easily upgrade to something like another 380 for crossfire or you could save until a gtx 980ti if you will be willing to overclock the 8320.
