Hello, I've been working on a couple of build and I need your help on picking which one and any tips to improve which one you think I should get. 

I'm fully aware these builds do not contain hard drives. These do not contain them because I have some already. 

 

Build One: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Dkxj3C

 

Build Two: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/badmanbman/saved/CgTG3C

 

I appreciate any help anyone has to offer.

EDIT: Thank you for pointing out I don't have RAM!

The second one is better but you're going to need some RAM with that build. 

 

I assumed that your budget was $500 so I added in RAM and tried to stay within your budget. It's only a few dollars above it but here it is. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/WCGD6h

You forgot RAM in the second one, so you might want to add some if you need it, also I assume you already have a psu/HDD?

 

Either way a 960 is better than a 760, no one will argue that.

PSU might be a little small but not sure... I would get a bigger PSU for both builds...

I'm liking the second build better, but as everyone already said, you're going to need some RAM. Even 4 gigs is fine.

Either way an R9 380* is better than a 760 (depending on the costs).
