    Some graphics cards these days are designed to help with rendering/encoding, take some strain off the CPU, nVidia CUDA or Quadro cards would most likely be better off than integrated Intel, not sure of any AMD cards.
    AS for CPU I think the more cores the better for that stuff.

    The Core i5 is about 50% faster than the AMD. Radeon HD 3000 is an integrated GPU and actually "worse" than HD 2500. If you don't need the monitor, the 2nd computer is the better choice.
