I would get the first one just so you can connect a gpu to a 16x slot

Is there a huge difference between the performance of x4 and x16 slot?

It's the badwitch mostly, depends on the gpu, mostly 8x is fine with older one 4x also, but I would always prefer more pcie slots that work, you can e.g. get a data pcie card if you need the ports later on
