Drop the i7 down to the i5. Also drop the RAM to 8GB. Games make use of less than 1/2 of your current amount. Use the $ saved to get extra storage, like the Mushkin Chronos 120GB SSD.

So pretty much you recommend the first build? Ignore the 2nd, in regards to the first build any suggestions? The 2nd also includes a GTX 680 which are non existent.
