Your best option is no.2 if you want it for gaming, an i7 wouldn't be much better than an i5 for gaming and the 970 is faster than the R9 290.
The build with the i7 and the R9 290 would be better if you are going to do things like heavy video editing but it wouldn't be as good for gaming.
Your PSU can handle it just fine.

its not bad but package 2 is the best value. For gaming the 4690k processor excles at that and the 970 does too, as long as it's 1080p of course, if you go 1440p or higher I'd choose the r9 290x but the 290x puts out alot more heat, and 1080p looks still looks amazing.
