You can put an SSD in either build. They're costly though. I suggest getting a small SSD and putting your OS and important/large applications on there (things like Photoshop and games). It won't change your FPS or computer speed per-say, but applications will start faster.

I'd go with build #2. By the way I found a great GPU at a stellar price. Here's the link http://pcpartpicker.com/part/zotac-vide ... zt7040110p

However, both are great budget builds and would kick Minecraft's ass without overclocking.

Both are good, I'd take the second one since I love my i5. But I've heard tons of things about the R9 cards getting really hot and being really loud :/

That's not true. I use an R9 card, and it never exceeds 65 degrees C on far cry 3 with the highest settings while being overclocked. Also, I can almost never hear it. The only ones that get loud and hot are the reference cards.

Neither are good build. Are you going to overclock or not?

Haha no. The i5-4670k needs a z87 chipset motherboard to be overclockable. The current motherboard you have choose is an H81 motherboard which doesn't support overclocking. The 8320's motherboard is a 970 chipset motherboard which is not for overclocking. If you want to overclock you will need a 990fx motherboard.
