Solution
what are you looking for? Price? Power? Efficiency?They're all solid builds, but they're all overkill on the PSU, if you're going for a quality PSU from Seasonic, a gold efficiency 650W Seasonic should power them all, overclock and all, 750 if you really feel uncomfortable.

First build needs a regular HDD for file storage, 256GB is not going to be enough for a person who will want/need this kind of power from their PC, 2 or 3 TB should be a good choice

Ditch the 2nd SSD in the 2nd build, why would you need one? You can run all your important apps on one already, if the 2nd one is just for file storage then a regular HDD would give you more storage/dollar.
