Second build is almost certainly more powerful, not sure why the first is more expensive. The CPU in the second build is about on-par with the one in the first, and the GPU is definitely better in the second build, plus, you're getting a larger SSD, albeit no cheap HDD.

Get the second on and put the savings into getting 16GB DDR4 3000MHz RAM and another SSD.

Also, get a better PSU, that unit is garbage. Try the Corsair CX550, if you can afford a $200 more expensive PC, you should be able to swap the PSU for a decent quality one.

I second that with the PSU. I would also look into the Seasonic Focus Gold or Focus Plus Gold for a PSU.
