Hey I'm from New Zealand, and my older brother is interested in me building him a Gaming/Productivity PC. His budget is $2000 NZD so I put together two various builds. He's going to be gaming at 1080p, and wants high fps in games such as LoL, Runescape, Overwatch, Fortnite, Pubg, GTA V, Farcry 4 etc. He also does a little bit of video editing and music producing - not heavy, but does a fair amount, and wants to stream/listen to music and videos. Which build is better?
