Which Desktop?

I am looking at two HP desktop computers for editing AVCHD files with Vegas Pro. The first is the HP 1330z and it features the AMD FX-8120 eight core processor [3.1 GHz, 8MB L2/8MB L3 cache]. The second is the HP 1240t and it features the i7-3770 quad core processor [3.4 GHz, 8MB Shared Cache]. Both include Window 7 Premium Home 64 bit OS. The latter is $100 more than the former. Which would be best for my intended purpose?? Thank you!

An AMD processor would be the last thing on my list of potential purchases. If you check the AMD CPU performance, you'll see that every single one of their chips fall way behind Intel's.
