It is good. I bought a similar build with a little higher clocked stuff for about $200 more, this will make you VERY happy, trust me. I also like how you went with AMD, although i got the BullDozer AMD-FX 8120. Only thing i might suggest is a larger powersupply...

Well it seems good. The PSU should be upgraded a bit. If its a prebuild, which i assume it is, then you should build one for less, but otherwise its ok.

Also for the first build, how many watts would you recommend?

all you really need is around 500w for your psu. You didnt need the 16gbs unless you render videos or use photoshop. The only thing you had to change was the psu to about 500w and lower to 8gb of ram if you only want to game. Other than that, its perfectly fine.

Go for the cheaper one if you really want a pre-build. The Bulldozer's only really shine under overclock and the Piledriver CPU's (the FX8320, 8350) perform bettter at stock. Also if you went for the first, you'd be paying more for a quad than you would for a newer eight core.

Yeah I am going to be rendering and photoshop, etc, so that's why I have 16 GB. Also it's not really a pre-build, because I felt that I wouldn't know where to start when building the PC if I ordered all of the parts. So I went to some websites and built PCs with the parts they had to see if they would be decent. And I don't know if you can open those and add or change parts if you wanted/needed to. So I am not sure if it qualifies as a "pre-build".

They're building it for you, so it's a pre-build. If you link the site you're using, we might be able to make some improvements. Unfortunately, prebuilders have awful selection.

Well I was using iBUYPOWER's website and made some adjustments to what I thought was good and then also for the second build I just found a PC made on Newegg.
