2 different builds
I find neither of them to be all that good.
CPU: Both are the same, so no need to change anything.
GPU: Both are about equally good. Choose the lowest priced one.
PSU: Model numbers please. Just the wattage tells us almost nothing.
Cooler: You don't NEED a aftermarket, but the coolermaster is the better choice here (no need for water cooling with a cpu that will never be able to overclock).
RAM: either is fine. choose the lower priced of the 2, as frequency does not help much in gaming yet.
Board: The Z97 is the better board, but for a single GPU and locked CPU, you will not notice a difference. Choose the lower priced one.
case: As long as everything fits, it is always personal opinion.
Storage: No reason to say anything, seagate is reliable. You can look at Hatachi and Western Digital as well and maybe save some money.
DVD Drive: is not necessary, but they all do teh same thing at equal speeds. Lowest priced one you can find is fine.
