There are some EVGA power supplies that are excellent and there are some which are bad. On the other hand, Seasonic generally makes quality power supplies so there are pretty much a safe choice regardless.

 

To answer your question, the Seasonic unit is fine. I'm betting it's unlikely you'll be able to pick up a good EVGA unit for the same price.

Im planning to build a twitch.tv streaming pc mainly league or overwatch. I have 2 builds that my friend suggested to me but i want your opinion to.

Both are amazing choices. Some heads up tho: instead of corsair cx (pretty low quality) i suggest getting something of similar wattage from EVGA. The second build is the best of course since the processor allows for overclocking. If you don't want to do that just pick the first one.

I5 4440//8gb Corsair Vengeance ddr3//Sapphire Radeon r9 380 4gb//ASUS h81m-plus//WD caviar blue 1tb//Cooler Master N200//Cooler Master G500

Second choice is better but it's got a subpar power supply and the RAM isn't compatible with the motherboard. You'll want a better quality PSU such as the XFX TS 550W and a Z170 motherboard that supports DDR4, not DDR3.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Oh good, about the PSU what do you think will do? we dont have evga PSU's in my country we have Thermaltake Seasonic Coolmaster and Corsair 

The Seasonic unit you've got in your first build is basically the same as the XFX TS 550W.
