Which computer should I buy? Will there be bottleneck? Can I play games like Payday 2 and CS:GO on 50/60 FPS?

Full Specs:

Computer 1:
AMD FX 8320 Black edition 3,5 ghz 8 Processor kernen
Sapphire R9 280x VaporX OC 3GB DDR3
Asus Sabertooth 990FX v. 2.0
16 GB Crosair Vengeance RAM 1600Mhz
Crosair Gaming series GS800
Cooler master Huper 212 EVO processor cooler
Cooler master Elite K380 Midi tower
LG IPS277L-BN, 27 inch Full HD monitor
Logitech X-530, 5.1 speaker set
(no harddisk)

Computer 2:

AMD FX6300
3,5 ghz and 4,1 ghz turbo
Club3D Radeon R9 290x
8gb ram
700 watt Cooler master
Msi 970 Gaming motherbord
Cooler Master TX3 Evo
1 TB space
Windows 8.1
Plus every CD driver

Please help me. I don't know which one is the best. I can get them both around €500. (550$) (secondhand). And Can I overclock the processor? It would be nice if you guys would react within a day. I really wanna know if those computers are good for playing games like Payday 2, CS:GO and RTW2 on Full HD, high or max settings on 40/50/60 FPS.

As far as I know their should not be any bottle necking with the first build. That being said if their is going to be bottle necking it would be worse on the second build than the first one. And yes, at 1080p you will be able to play at 60+ fps.

If only the first build comes with a monitor then I would get it unless you have something to display to already. The second build is somewhat more powerful due to the graphics card but not enough more powerful to justify getting less with it.

Thanks!, and no, I don't have a good display yet. But you say the 2nd build is more powerful, while the 1st one has 8 cores, so the video card of the 2nd one is really very more powerful?

And are the benchmarks of this processors and video cards important?

If you use a lot of really resource intensive programs like things for 3d modelling or other such things then the 8350 will perform better, but for general everyday tasks and gaming it makes very little difference.

So won't there be a bottleneck with the GPU of Computer 1?
And I can play games on computer 1 like Payday 2, CS:GO and RTW2 on Full HD with 40+ FPS?
