Just saw you'll be using 4GB RAM. You also might want to upgrade to 8GB if you're going to be using it for multitasking games/streaming/whatever. If you don't want an SSD and won't be using the full 1TB HDD, you can downgrade to 500GB HDD and put the lost money towards 8GB RAM.

Once you factor in MIRs those builds end up in the $550 range. I personally lean more towards the Intel build than the AMD one. That 430W PSU is fine for both builds, but I would go up to the 500W so you don't have to upgrade the PSU if you get a newer card that needs 2 PCI-E power connectors.
