Hey guys. I am wanting to build a new system within the next 2-3 weeks and have been weighing all the options and figured I would ask for advice as well. I already have all the peripherals so am just needing the PC. I would prefer to have wireless AC on it as it will not be close to my router, so mini-ITX boards have been looking appealing. I would prefer to stick with Intel/Nvidia, not for fanboy reasons though so if there is a very compelling reason to go red I wouldn't mind. This is going to be used almost exclusively for gaming, programming, and game creation using unity(im a noob at unity though so it wont be any complex).
these are my proposed builds as of right now:

Feel free to make any changes you would like. I do not care about what it looks like, really only price/performance for gaming. Thanks!
