both builts are good but first one is much better as it contains fx-6350 processor. actually now most of modern games and also upcoming games like "cod advance warfare(nov-2014 release)" they need multicore processors so 6-core will much better than 4-core. one more thing make sure your amd r7 260x gpu should be of MSI (it is available in 3 models MSI, asus and saphire) MSI is best as it contains advance cooling system even after overclocking.

What would be the difference in changing it to an MSI?

I recommend first one with abit modifications.
Well M5A99X is an overkill if no OC. Get an A97 mobo save some money and get a better gpu.
