The new one
$40 for case
$300 CPU
$60 Ram
$240 Video Card
$240 MB
$100 SSD
$50+ for PSU
$75+ for Liquid cooling
$100+ for HD
$40 Blu-Ray
Puts you at about $1245 with NO OS. GPU is on the same Tom's Hardware Heirarchy tier and is a little cheaper card. Plus a few "Free" goodies. I am personally an NVIDIA fan, but that's just me. AMD's are good cards as well.
Both are going to be nice rigs. If you wanted to skimp you could cut back on the I7 to a cheaper CPU(like an I5), you could do that and not notice much if any of a difference in gaming... that being said, I bought an I7, so what do I know
I would still want a little more PSU than 500. I would run at least 600-700 on anything I built. I believe 600 is listed as the minimum for that card, but not 100% sure.

I don't own kid gloves.
