I have made 2 builds. One of these are the builds I will probably be sticking with. I will be playing Planetside 2, Minecraft, and Battlefield 4.

So far I think the G3258 build will do better in the games I play, tell me what you guys think and what I should go with.

P.S. I am planning on recording with ShadowPlay.
 
Solution
The first one (intel/nvidia) is much better, the GTX 750 Ti is quite stronger than the 260X, but add one more ram stick. For gaming, is better to have at least 2x4GB of 1600MHz RAM.
