#2 is the best, for a start your first one is mini-itx which does to a degree slow things down a little and comes with less new technology due to its size, also numerous other slight things but yeah go with the second build

This depends.
What games will you be playing and on what resolution?

There is nothing wrong with mini-itx cases. It has support for the newest technology and it doesn't slow anything at all. It just has little to no airflow, which may increase temps a bit if you plan to overclock.

I've sorted out resolution, but I'll be running at 1920x1080 on a single monitor , but temperature levels i wont worry too much about, i wont be having extreme running times.
