(Building only 1 out of those four^)

 

So above are links to the new PC I am hoping to build. One of them is an AMD build and the others are Intel based. I was looking for someone else's opinion of which one I should go for and if it is a good build overall. I will be playing games such as Overwatch, The Witcher 3, GTA V, Just Cause 3, CSGO, Fortnite, and maybe some video editing but nothing too major. Also, I do not need windows, any peripherals or a HDD as I have those things. I don't really want to spend more than $1150 CAD because that'll be outside of my budget. Any help, improvement and advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!

I would wait for new GPUs, should drop the price of current ones

True, but I think the 1060 is still very good with current games for its price. But I'll see in the future because I'm not building a PC till later on in the year.

You should take out that PSU and replace it with a CX450m or CX550m. Everything else is fine.

Not saying it's bad, saying you should be able to save extra dolla dolla
