GPU: not enough for ultra performance; if you can I would return it and get something else
RAM: Go from 10 to 8
Cooling: Still waiting on what you intend to do with your processor.
Sound Card: What are you using??
Hard drive: No need for a storage hard drive??
PSU: Maybe look towards XFX stronger value, cheaper PSU's.

And for which platform is stronger Intel normally will be stronger on the ultra gaming side.

Just a couple of notes on places where you can save money and apply to a better GPU (as the person above me noted, a GT 630 is not a gaming card. If you do not plan to overclock, you a) do not need an aftermarket cooler for either build, as both of those chips come with stock coolers that will work perfectly well at stock clocks b) do not need to spend extra for a "K" series intel CPU - a regular i5-4670 will be exactly like a 4670K if you don't overclock it, essentially. You also do not need 10GB RAM for modern gaming - 8GB is an excellent compromise. If you need this for more than gaming, however, like any sort of video/photo editing or software dev work, more RAM always helps in that sort of situation.

Quick edit: I also forgot to mention that you do not need a sound card unless you want to run this through a seriously high end surround sound system, and you may also want to drop the solid state drive in favor of just a 1TB mechanical drive, if the extra money would let you get a better GPU. There's no point in a faster loading time if you can't get playable FPS once the game loads, is there?

Well, I guess I should start by asking what is your end goal. What are you wanting out of your cpu performance because you are throwing quite a bit of money at your cpu and really neglecting your GPU there. I agree good ultra performance cards would include and not excluding. GTX670, GTX680, GTX770, GTX780; Radeon 7950, 7970, 7970 Ghz.
I would get a cheaper cooler maybe the evo unless you plan to do some overclocking and even then I would pick up some good fans the Noctua NF-12's come to mind. I would ditch the sound card most onboard audio solutions now are more then enough for a typical person. I have a sound card but I needed one for headphones.
I would go down to a 8 gigabyte ram kit as minedwiz was saying.
I don't think a all solid state solution is bad however I know for myself that I would want a large storage drive and a 1 tb drive is the sweet spot I believe for most so you may want to consider that.
And for power supply's while I do like corsair power supply XFX has a stronger value with a strong OEM in there power supplies Seasonic.

If you're going both to be editing and recording videos on it, then I would side with the FX-8350 chip along with an HD 7850 (or 7870, if you can). If you could make a Core i7 work, great, but the FX-8350 is your most cost-effective 8 thread CPU, and you definitely want some pretty serious multithreading capability for the whole game recording/editing process.
