Actually your list is damn good. Go with it.

although if you currently have a PC, mabye you can sell it and get some more funding? 50-100$ can get you a dedicated gpu, which will really improve your experiance.

 

just go with list 1, but get cheaper no heatsink ram, and at least a 240gb ssd.

Get the cheapest ram, even if its ugly, you dont see much of it and get a 240gb ssd with the money saved.

(I forgot that at 240gb ssd wasnt gonna be really expensive)

The Vega 8 build, since 4 true cores are well worth the minimal loss in GPU performance. That said, I would get cheaper ram and a 240GB SSD instead, but you seemed to have come around to that already.

yeah, that's much better, There is a cheaper SSD by 50 cents, and this motherboard is well worth the 1.73 price difference.

Another thing to consider that hasn't been mentioned is that you have a big upgrade path with the AMD build. Ryzen 3 is coming out soon and you can drop that right into the same motherboard. So you can go with your APU setup for now, and later if you want some more performance you can toss in a Ryzen 2 or 3 with a GPU. The best you can do with the intel build is an 8800k.. then its end of the road for your computer.

better heatsink, and better VRM (what powers the CPU)
