I would go with the first one because the 960 beats the 760 and the Fx 8150 simply because of the higher core count while still being able to overclock sounds like great performance to me, also 8gb of ram is perfect for modern gaming atm. you really don't need 16+ unless you want it for something specific. (Other than just gaming)

The only thing the first build has going for it is the GPU.
In every other regard the second system is better.

The 8150 has a much lower IPC compared to the 6300, no matter the core count or GHz.

Overall, both systems are pretty bad.

Will this be good for medium to high gaming settings?

That build is an extremely potent entry level gamer.
