Im putting together my PC and will mainly be using it for school work and some occasional gaming (BF4, Bioshock, LoL) but will not be primarily gaming. I will NOT be video rendering or be using hyperthreads extensively. Mainly browsing and such.

I will NOT be upgrading this computer in the future for about 4 years, before i purchase a new PC.

For my needs, which build do you think best fits my needs ?

The first thing I noticed is no HDD in any of the 3.

Secondly, why such heavy processor and GPU if you don't do hardcore gaming or OCing or do video/graphic processing?

Your budget seems to be around $1.2k, while you can get a good PC which can game with ease and do multitasking with ease of your type well below $1k.

Thirdly, you have chosen like the best of MoBos available lol. You really need a big ATX MoBo?

Ok but do you really don't need a HDD?

Tbh you'll be wasting your resources if you don't plan to game HARDCORE or do some REAL HEAVY VIDEO RENDERING with that CPU. And the GPU is an absolute gem for gaming. You really don't need that big MoBo even if you wish to expand and OC. Mini ATX is more than enough.
