I would take Intel build.

But can you wait a month or two more? AMD is releasing Ryzen soon and you could get better CPU for that money.

First one is better. Also you might make better one with skylake

Thanks I was planning on waiting until Ryzen

Good idea. Buying new CPU right now isn't he best idea ... we don't know what Ryzen will bring to the table.

Why is that 1050 TI so expensive? you can get an RX470/GTX 1060 3gb for the same price and blow it out of the water

Unless you already own the psu, get something a little less high-end and lower capacity. PCPartPicker estimates the max draw of the Intel at less than 300W. Consider something like  SeaSonic SSR-450RM.

 

DDR3 Vengeance Pro memory modules are not an optimal choice when using a Hyper 212 EVO cpu cooler. I would suggest picking modules that are 32mm tall or lower. 

 

Have you verified that the 159mm tall Hyper 212 EVO will fit in the case?
