Firstly a bit about me, I'm 18 and I've been debating building a gaming pc for about a year now and I've finally decided to. For the last 5 years I've been using the machine I'm posting this with, Windows Vista, 1.6ghz Processor and 2GB ram and I'm sick of it. I've been researching different components a lot recently and cant decide if I want to go overkill with this, my budget can stretch to about £1500 but I've read you can build a PC for under £1000 that will run anything on Ultra. I want to play all games on ultra, do some HD video editing and use photoshop, basically everything I've not been able to do on this machine I'm using right now 
( I lag on Age of empires 2..)
Here is the first build I've made It's just under £1500 -

Here is a build I've made for under £900 -

I know that there is a HUGE difference between spending £1000 and £1500 on a computer but I want this to last at least a few years without needing to completely overhaul the components, any advice/build ideas would be much appreciated. I'm a noob to all this so if I've got anything wrong then I am sorry, thanks for reading and thanks for helping!
