I would suggest adding an SSD. Than go with the first one. That motherboard and that CPU on the second option is just asking for disaster.

Well if you're not going to overclock, then the unlocked processor and z87 board is uselss. By the way, could you post your budget? Half of us could probably make a way better build for the money.

 

Post this in "New Builds and Planning" next time too, please.

What is your budget in Norway's currency? We can use the Norway PCPartPicker to make you a build.

1 us $ is about 6 Norske/Norwegian kroner

 

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

 
CPU:  Intel Core i5-4570 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($189.99 @ Newegg) 
Motherboard:  MSI H87-G43 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($84.79 @ Newegg) 
Storage:  Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk  ($79.99 @ Micro Center) 
Video Card:  Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 3GB WINDFORCE Video Card  ($495.91 @ Newegg) 
Case:  Antec One ATX Mid Tower Case  ($49.99 @ NCIX US) 
Total: $1204.57

Here you go, $1200, approximately 6500 kroner, and I'm guessing it is in real life 7500 kroner because of the higher prices you mentioned.
This has an SSD, the 2tb storage you wanted, a better GPU, non overclockable which will save you money, the 4570 is a very comparable cpu to the 4670, and an aftermarket CPU cooler to keep things quiet. I'm not sure what brands sell stuff in norway, so look for a same specced alternative to something I mentioned if it is not sold in norway. You can change the case if you want to something that you like the look of, this is just a low price high airflow good for the money case.
