Which build will preform better

[Alexdiaz]

I have specs for 2 builds. Each build is about $230-$250. I know that with that amount of money, the PC won't last long but I will upgrade it. I want the PC to be for casual games so games such as source games, Skyrim, Minecraft, and War Thunder.
Nothing to beastly on the graphics. I'm perfectly fine playing these games at 720p because my monitor only supports 720p. I am fine playing games at low settings as long as I'm getting a solid 30fps. I would like to be able to record games as well. Here are the links to the builds.

I'd go with the second build and upgrade the CPU later with the cheapest quad core CPU you can find.

The 2nd build with the discrete GT 640 should perform better. But aim for the X4 Athlon or consider the Intel Pentium G3220 instead.

Change the PSU to the better Antec VP-450 ($38) :http://pcpartpicker.com/part/antec-power-supply-vp450

this cpu just came out and overclocked it gets near i5 fps in games.

for roughly $100 more you will almost double your performance with this.
