My first gaming pc

[emilwandersen]

Hey guys, for years I've played on console but now I want to invest in a PC. I know almost nothing about pc setups and what hardware is required so I thought that maybe I could get some help here...

Goal:
Primarily I want to be able to play Fortnite on highest settings on a 144hz monitor without lag. 
I'm not really sure whether I want to be in the $7-800 price range and buy second hand or if I wanna buy a new in the $14-1500.
However I've been looking at a few second hand builds, but I just dont know which one is the best buy. But I'll put the specs and the price here so that you can maybe guide me:

The thing is this, living in Denmark means that I can add another 25% to your build  
I really would like some guidance on which one of the above is better. Thanks for the reply though

Could anyone maybe help me either ranking these PC's or helping me with a build that would cost around $800 in the US?
