build 1 is better due to overclockability.
Though i'd make a couple of changes in both of them

n0ns3ns3 :

What changes?

n0ns3ns3 · Jul 12, 2016

+SSD
other PSU.
not sure what memory is there. I'd go for 16GB DDR4 2400
The rest is really a question of taste. Like the case and CPU cooler and MB

I say build 2 is better if you do video editing, rendering. You can overclock non-K cpu with Z170 motherboard, specific bios - http://overclocking.guide/category/intel-oc-guides/skylake-non-k-oc/ and higher MHz rams, like 2666 or 3000.
Build 1 is better for gaming only.

Edit: also get the EVGA G2 550 instead of the X-560.

n0ns3ns3 :

I all ready have a SSD. And the RAM is 16GB DDR4 2400. Why do i need a different PSU?

Inkiad · Jul 12, 2016

I suggest different psu because the X series is old and new psu's performs better. The EVGA G2 series has 7 years of warranty.

If you already have the psu, no need to buy a new one.

I can't... I looked but i can't find a shop in my country that sells evga power supplies
Is the ANTEC 650W 80+ MODULAR good enough?

Inkiad · Jul 12, 2016

Post some shop website from your country. I will try to get you a good psu.

Inkiad :

The sites are Hebrew not english. and the only power supplies that are available are antec /FSP /seasonic power suplies.

Inkiad · Jul 12, 2016

Antec HCG-M(high current gamer m) series is good.
Seasonic S12II, M12II EVO, G resies is good. Nearly everything from seasonic is good. But, as told, the X-560 is quite old.
FSP Hydro is good.

I can handle Hebrew sites (live in Rishon Lezion)

Anyway, most of them have EN

Is the Antec HCG-620M 80+ Bronze good enough?
