My choice would be the first one, purely because of having an upgrade path. Although the second system is pretty much top end platform. the first one will perform the same in games. And asides from upgrath path gams would be my only other consideration.

Your part picks are good. You could save a few quid with an I5 4670k or something, which again, in gaming, will perform almost exactly the same. Hyper threading on I7's don't impact gaming.

if you are video editing/rendering of the sort would get the first build - the community cna always build a pc for you. You just have to give us the country + budget ~ nad the purpose of this PC - also if you would like future SLI/XFIRE capabilties and if you want to OC + if you want a SSD/HDD

I took the SSD off the first set up to bring the price now by £158 quid..

SLI XFIRE ?? no idea what those are.

I have a budget of £1300 pounds sterling and want to mainly list my stuff for sale and then stop work and play games.

ok so britian and £1300 pounds is your limit and are you plannign to do any video editing/rendering and are you going to OC? SLI or Xfire is the ability to run 2 or more of the same cards in sync to give you a better all performance.
