Looking for a computer(gaming) to run games with good settings, graphics, and fps. I made 2 builds and I wanna know which is the better buy. If you can help improve the builds without going over $900 you may, if not I would just like to know which would be better for gaming. I plan to play games like DayZ and G-mod. Also after telling which one is better I'd also be happy if you can include how good the settings will be on DayZ. Thank you:)

Build 2: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3B316

Build 2. Should run DayZ as well as anyone else can. It's very CPU-limited in its current state.

If you don't want to overclock this would be ok, but you could still upgrade the mobo.

I would get the PSU from build 1, put it in build 2 and upgrade the processor.

ASRock is like a low end Asus, but I don't hear many good things. I personally would recommend the Gigabyte, or pick up an actual Asus motherboard.
