For the CPU use an i5-4570 or 4670 (k versions if you want to overclock)
It has 4 threads where as the amd has 8, games only use 4 threads (with some exceptions) making the i5 more powerful in most games.

For build 1 consider a gigabyte windforce gtx 770 OC instead of the msi card. Better cooler and clocked higher.

You only need a 650w power supply unless you plan to sli the cards in future

Use a slower ram. 1600mhz is enough. It is cheaper and you won't see a performance difference unless using benchmark programs.
