Computer 1: 8 GB DDR 3 Memory | AMD FX-Series FX-8100(2.8GHz) | AMD Radeon HD 7750 | 500GB 7200RPM

Computer 2: 8 GB DDR 3 Memory | AMD FX-Series FX-6300 | AMD Radeon HD 7730 1GB | 1TB SATA II 7200RPM

Price Difference: NONE

I'm going to be using software like adobe premier CC and Sony Vegas Pro and i'm poor at the moment and need something so I can edit without crashes and lag and all that bad stuff. Not looking for super speed rendering neither super slow just that average. Now Between Computer 1 and Computer 2 all over the internet the AMD FX-Series FX-6300 > AMD FX-Series FX-8100(2.8GHz). The FX-8100 is an 8-core of course and some have said go with the 8 core over the 6 core's higher performance. They said those extra 2 cores would be much more useful for multitasking which is what video editing is supposedly all about.I don't know about that so that leaves me with the graphics card. The other important part of the video editing process I've read about.

The AMD Radeon HD 7750 > AMD Radeon HD 7730 GB. The 7750 by one bench mark test showed that the AMD Radeon HD 7750 is much better than the HD 7730.
You can just check it out here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7730-cape-verde-review,3575.html

Another guy saw these two comparisons and chose the 8 core over the 6 core. What do you all think? I've got to decide today or tomorrow.

Why not get a older intel I5 like the 2400?

AMD are the worst for performance per core:

And a older GPU like a 650 as it will support CUDA as well as be generally faster. (anything from the 400 series or above that is a 60, 70,75,80,85 or 95 will wipe the floor with that GPU!)

I think I know the exact computers you're talking about, and I just purchased the FX-8100 model the other day. The FX-6300 is technically the superior CPU, but it only beats the 8100 by about 10% at most, and the extra two cores should keep the 8100 relevant longer as programs become more heavily threaded in the future. Plus, the Radeon 7750 is actually a fairly competent GPU and will be entirely functional until you're ready to pursue an upgrade, whereas the 7730 would more or less require an upgrade immediately for anything beyond the most basic usage.
