Need Help for $1000 Gaming PC Build!!

[andrew_rose115]

So, I finally decided to build a new gaming PC. My budget at the moment is $1000, and there are two builds I am debating on to chose from. If you have a better build for around $1000 please let me know! Thanks!
P.S. Most of these pieces are on sale, so I listed the sale prices.

Happy gaming.
