If you want to 1080p 60 FPS the first build is more than enough for it

i say go for the first

 
I hate to break it to you, but even in games, that Ryzen 5 is going to murder a Pentium G4560 9 times out of 10. I would not spend money in a Pentium G or i3 personally.

Also, the MSI RX 470 overclocks well and will perform like a stock 480. So on either build, I would go with a 470 over a 480 where price/performance is concerned. Much better OC headroom. And you can save some cost there without sacrificing performance.
