Which of these is the better build for gaming? My maximum budget is 950$ U.S. I would like high settings and high FPS, if possible. Thanks in advance!

I already have 2x4gb of RAM.

Just go with 1st one. 4590 isn't OCable so you don't need aftermarket cooler and Z97 board.

Is the main difference for that the upgrading to the 980? Also, how will this last? Thanks for putting this together!

It is even stronger than a 390x. If you don't want to dig up thos 17 dollars, your best option is to pick up a 1231 V3 xeon (aka i7 4770)

Sorry, I worded that badly. Is the main difference upgrading to the 980? I don't have a problem upgrading.

Very much yes. I wanted to fit the 1231 V3 but didn't get it into the budget.
