I'd go with #2 personally. I prefer Asus boards, as well as Nvidia GPUs. #2 has better RAM and a larger SSD, as well as an arguably better CPU. The price of the SSD (and chair) basically covers the gap in prices.

Performance wise, would it clearly out do #1 in terms of Editing/Gaming?

Cheers for the quick responce.

While id reccomend a 3600, your best choice is build #2. Is this a prebuilt or a custom build?

This is a prebuild. The two options are on Marketplace, previous owners selling their PC.

In that case its easy enough to upgrade later.

I'd say #2 is definitively better on the basis of the hard-drive and RAM. I'd prefer the Asus board, as well.
