Those builds will perform almost identical since the only difference is the SSD and the PSU. You should be able to play all games at 1080p at 40-60 fps on max settings with that build.

I recommend using the EVGA power supply if you want to save money. Also, you could scale down to a 120GB SSD if you only are storing the operating system on it. Other than that, there's really no way to make the system much cheaper without making some sacrifices.

Stick with Windows 10. Direct X 12 support will be a big boost for your graphics card in the future.
