| Yes and I say go with either the i5 or fx 4100 builds. The i5 because its better gaming than the i7 or the fx 4100 because of the better gpu.

I don't know what Konr has said, but you DO need >100 fps in FPS(first person shooters) to play it properly. That's MY opinion. In games that require precision and fast reflexes you just can't afford any sort of un-smoothness at all.

That is not smooth though. 120+ at all times yes, 60+ at all times yes, but having around 100 at all times is not. Think about this. You have 100fps, suddenly the rate drops to 70. Thats going to look terrible for you. Where as if you always get 60+ fps and cap it there, not Vsync, cap, it can be more stable and stay smoother more often. FPS drops are going to happen no matter how great your system is if its online, or something big happens.

I'd go with build 2, but seagate barracuda are known to not last long. I'd try to spend on a samsung spinport F3 or a Western digital caviar black, or blue at least. Spin port is owned by seagate now but they are the same high quality samsung hard drive.
spin port is the same price in pounds but I see you use euros and I honestly do not know the difference. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-082-SA&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=
definily get a 7850
As you can see the 7850 is about as strong as the 6950. Thats a good deal of power over that 6870 in build 1.
