The second build simply because you want to do some productivity.

Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo                                                  Storage: Intel 730 SSD                                                                                                            PSU: EVGA 850G2

Gaming wise, the GTX 970 and R9 290 are pretty much the same. But with the second build, you have an i7 which will be a whole lot more productive. If you do go with the second build, I would recommend getting 16GB RAM instead if you do any professional work

First build. I would assume you'll spend more time gaming than doing productivity, but if I'm wrong second build. Both builds will do well for both productivity and gaming though, so it's just down to what you do more often.

I'm a fucking AMD kawaii weeaboo desu I have seen the light

i5 6600k | EVGA 980 FTW | Z170A PC Mate | 1TB WD Blue | 240GB SSD Plus | NZXT S340 | EVGA 600b  | Dedotated 8GB

lol, the 4790k outperforms the Xeon, and why an expensive PSU? Corsair makes rock solid PSU's.

Yup, totally garbage (sarcasm). For example,

The 4790k seems to perform a little bit better. http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Xeon-E3-1231V3-vs-Intel-Core-i7-4790Kand i also entered specs on Game Debate for BF4 and the i7 had an increase of 40% over the Xeon.

cpuboss isn't a benchmarking site

all it does it compared features

hmm that's true, but what about Game Debate? It had an increase of 40%

I would do a mix of them, use a GTX 970, with the 4790K on either motherboard, either case is fine, and either PSU is fine. Well I just changed the GPU on the second one I guess... I made that WAY To complicated didn't I...
