Which is better?
Alright, so I've had my eye on a few PC lists, and I'm not sure which would be good as I'm not the best with parts.
My budget is right around $1000, give or take $50ish.
I'd like to play games like GTA V, CSGO, Skyrim, Rust, PayDay 2, etc... with med-high graphics at 1920x1080p resolution (if it's possible).
I have 3 builds here. Please tell me which would be the better buy for what I want (I'd obviously like the cheaper, and tell me if I can make any improvements).
EDIT: I can't seem to post links, so I'll make a spoiler with the info.
Sorry for the mess, but like I said, I can't post links... Also, give or take $20-30ish dollars on the total for sales, etc.

I do plan on overclocking eventually, but for the first few months or so I'll keep it at standard GHz. Just FYI :P
Leave improvements/suggestions below! Thanks
