They're both almost the same price build 2 is a bit expensiver but not that much, and why with the cheapest gpu?

currently the 290 have their price slashed

 

unless you need or like nVidia features

 

the 290 will perform the same as the 780 for a cheaper price

If they cost pretty much the same i would go with the second build, the 780 and the 290 perform about the same at 1080p but the 780 uses less power.

 

If your playing at 1440p or multi monitor then get the 290.

CPU: 6600K @ 4.6Ghz | COOLER: H100i GTX | MOBO: Asus Z170 AR | GPU: EVGA GTX 1080 Ti Hybrid | RAM: G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16GB | 

CASE: Corsair 760T | PSU: Corsair RM750x | STORAGE: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB & Seagate 2TB | KEYBOARD: K70 RGB | MOUSE: Deathadder Elite

^ As above, the H55 is pretty abysmal by today's standards. It's hard enough to justify AIO watercoolers, but even harder to justify single 120mm ones.

1600MHz RAM is fine, whichever is cheaper.

Personally I would go with the Seasonic G over the RM Series, but the RM is still good.

Enthoo Pro > Corsair 500R.

I wouldn't recommend Corsair fans personally, but if you are going to buy them, remember to compare prices of the single packs to the twin packs. The twins are often cheaper.

Alright ill try to get a decent air cooler,

the 1866mhz ram was only 3$ more sooo,

I could use the seasonic on build 2 too, since they are both 80 plus gold

Do u have any fans that are good and not that expensive? 

 

Also the case looks realy cool too, but why must i change that?

Hyper 212 is always a safe bet.

Or get one that looks really cool, so it adds to your build's aesthetic

I will try to find 1 and show u and see what u think.
