Personally, I would choose the second build over the first build. The CPU and GPU are great for the price. This particular case is also much better.

Can you makes changes to these builds or are they pre-built ?

Then, if it is a custom build, I suggest you pick a better PSU. Choose one from either Seasonic, XFX or Corsair (except the CX or RM Series). They will perform much better.

Also, I don't really know that particular brand of memory. I generally recommend Kingston HyperX, Crucial Ballistix or Corsair Vengeance.

Otherwise, your build is great already. Have fun building !

Because the processor is a 6 core which is better then multitasking. Also since AMD makes console CPUS now new games might be optimized a bit more on the AMD side and use more cores aswell. By the way i would go for better quality ram like mentioned above. I think EVGA power supplies are fine but id get a little bit higher wattage for the future if you plan to upgrade. Also you might want to consider upgrading the CPU cooler to a hyper 212 EVO or something better then the stock cooler.
Good luck on you build and have a nice day. if you have any more questions you can PM me or just comment

I'm sorry but the intel build has way more processing power than the amd, at least for gaming.

Not sure on the sli. 650s that just seems odd to me. Never been much of a sli guy anyway, but my gtx 770 runs the new games great.

Honestly id go for the second one aswell just because if you plan on ever doing video editing. it will be better the first one. The first one would be better for gaming though. not sure about the GPU again not a big fan of SLI
