which build looks better

[corgiknight]

Looking to build my first gaming PC and after get some recommendation I pick a few of the build. I'm far from being knowledgeable in the art of PC building, so I like if some people could look over these build. So if someone could give opinion which one will give the best performance for cost. First post if you want to know what I am looking for in a PC and feel free to give other recommendation for build if you think there could be a better build.

The psu in build 1 is questionable. The cpu cooler and memory modules are not an optimal combination. The hdd is pricey for a desktop.

 

The cpu in build 2 is intended for low power applications, not really suitable for a performance desktop. While the 950 Pro offers excellent storage performance, at this budget there are better places to spend the money.

 

I would suggest going with build 1 with some alterations - a much better psu, less expensive storage and memory modules that will not have issues with the cpu cooler fan.
