What games are you playing? 

 

But they all would be decent gaming rigs for 1080p

Thanks for the input adamsjus1 i was going thinking about playing games battlefield hardline and some of the new upcoming game releases.

I'd go for Intel over AMD, not least because then you've got the LGA 1150 socket for future upgrades.

 

AMD's current business model seems to be to "just hang in there" because "people are still buying".

Battlefield would benefit from a more powerful CPU. I'd go for an Intel i5 if at all possible.

I would go with the first one for battle field Hardline. 

 

Because it will take advantage of more cores with the 6300 and the R9 280 is a good card and will beat the gtx 760 in most cases So I wouls say the first one. 

 

As long as you like that case its fine (I;m not a fan of it)

Hey Valder,

 

It would be helpful if we knew your budget, desired game settings and other preferences that you might have.

 

Out of the three designs I would choose the first one for its potential for overclocking, good GPU overall balance. 

Regarding the storage, WD Blue is a great drive that is designed for everyday usage and can even handle gaming. However, I would recommend considering a SSD as it would boost your system's overall performance quite a lot.
