The first one has a quality SSD drive for the OS, a higher spec video card and aftermarket cpu cooler seems significantly better but doesn't include a DVD or BlueRay drive.

Neither build includes LCD, Keyboard and Mouse, are you resuing those from a previous machine?

I'd go for the first one. It has less RAM, but thats not a major to upgrade. Its got a grunty vid card, good power supply, SSD and excellent sound card (if you're into that sort of this)
