Budget Build 350$ish for regular use + little gaming plus another gaming build

[pal64mc]

I'd like your guys opinion on these builds.The budget computer will be used for regular things like looking at email, typing up documents, and things alike, as well as a little bit of gaming. I would also like to know if my power supply is compatible with my motherboard and my case. If you see any other errors, it'd be great to know. As for the gaming build, is it a good base to start with? I am aware of it missing a video card, ill have to postpone having a decent one, other than that, im wondering if my power supply and motherboard are compatible as well as my psu fitting in my case. Along with any mistakes with the build would be great to know. Thank you.

The first build has a PSU which is way, way too overkill. A 750w PSU with a dual core CPU is absolutely unnecessary. You also have no Hard Drives in either build. Plus, why do you need a $100 motherboard with a $60 CPU in the budget build?

Here are my 2 build recommendations for both your office and your gaming rig -

im sorry i wasnt specific, i wanted the budget build to be upgradable whenever the person wanted, then for the gaming i wouldnt need a hard drive, videocard or different case. Do my builds do it? with your builds, the budget one is wayyyyyyyy to limited to upgrades, the gaming one has a case i dont like and prefer the tempest case, and the i dont need to purchase a video card just yet, or is it recommended that i buy it now?
