So you call a $1400~ build (excluding monitor and keyboard) budget?
Anyway, I'd say pick the "budget" one seeing as it can run many things on high to ultra settings at 1080p around 60 FPS with no problem. I say change the case though. It is way too big and overpriced for what you are trying to get. An ATX mid tower from a quality brand can also do the job.

Thanks for the help I am leaning toward the cheaper one but gotta keep in mind the goal is to eventually play the newer games on 3 monitors do you think with 2 video cards the cheaper one will do that?
