For gaming/commercial use or recording/rendering? or both?

Go for Set 1 but replace the 770 with a 290, then if you need to you'll be able to xFire it. The G43 only supports Corssfire, not SLI.
I would go for set 2
the 9590 would outperform the 4670k anyday in terms of gaming.
Sound and temperature might be a problem with set 2 as the 290 is extremely loud and its designed to run at 95C. (Hopefully this doesnt affect your homework)
The 290 outperforms the 770 as well so definately set 2
I'll prefer set 1.
