Mind you these are in australian currency so i can't get everything cheap like in America. Which one of these 2 builds of mine do you think will deliver the best performance for the price?

Also, you are wasting a ton of money on all the fans in the i5 build. 2 extra fans is fine.

Okay if i was to cut down to 2 extra fans which one would be the best option? Both have the GTX970 STRIX.

Yea, I see I missed that, sorry. :lol:  I would lose the fans on the i5 build, and just buy a better case instead. Something more like this.
