Long answer to a short question. I am not familiar with your other threads, and so do not remember what you want this system to play. Specific games will make a difference. Nor do I remember where you might want to go in the future.

If that monitor is good enough for the Fury, then why not use it here too and get another later?
Nothing wrong with the original build if the intention was to reduce the budget a bit. Monitors and their capabilities are somewhat of a personal choice.
In the second build, you have cut some corners. The 2400Mhz memory is slow for Skylake. It can use much faster, but I have no clue yet what effect this will have. We need to wait for experience from the first victims, err, I mean early adopters
Don't know enough about the motherboard's strength and weaknesses, but I'm sure it's OK at least.
The Hitachi drive has only 32Gb of cache and so is slower. Overclocking is of limited value. You could also put the Fury in the first build
In the third build, you have made some odd choices. The PSU is great, but the EVGA B2 750 is plenty good enough and the money saved is better spent elsewhere.
You now have 1 x 8 of REALLY slow memory. That is about as bad as it gets. I could understand one stick of really good memory. You are marrying this memory. I would not make that choice. Why that GPU?!!! Big, old, and hot. Why not a modern 970 or 390X
