Default Requesting custom PC build assistance

Alright I'm planning on building my first custom PC and I've been doing some research and milling around reddit.com/buildapc asking for recommendations. I have a budget of +/- $1000 and I'm looking for the ability to play current and next-gen stuff at near max quality, or as high as my budget will allow.

Here are the two builds I have been recommended for around the same budget:

Intel build:
