i'd be inclined to go with the second system after a quick glance, because you have more ram, quad core, 2x video cards, this will definitely help with video editing!
the second system hands down believe me when i say the quad core is fast, it will help you with what ever you plan on doing, and as sniper stated, the ram and video cards will help alot
