Would like to also know if there are any compatability issues or if there is a better way to build it to make it better or to save some money. If I can get it low enough I would like to get a decent monitor for 800 total

I'd go with your second build. Why_Me's build isn't bad, but some of the combos are dead, and the HAF 912 is a bit bare imo.
The first build's case and PSU are unappealing.
