So two super cool people on this site gave me 2 different builds, and Intel and an AMD. I was just wondering which would do better playing games (Advanced Warfare, BF4, Counter-Strike, Skyrim) at 1080p at around 60fps at high-ultra ish. I was also wondering if either of them could be improved while still staying under $800 USD.

Thanks for any help!
although it's your choice, but really both will do fine in all actuality. It comes down to whether you decide to go with pure amd, or intel and nvidia. Personally I'm apart of the red team, and blue team.
