LOL really a 5 minute bump? Aidano welcome to the forum. You probably aren't going to get a lot of responses today being thanksgiving an all. Anyhow they are both solid builds, you just need to decide if you want a current possibly upgradable platform which is the 1150 socket 4670k is or a dead platform which is the 1155. There is nothing wrong with either platform and you aren't really going to notice much difference between the two.

Changes I would make, get 120-128g SSD instead of a 60g.
290X overkill? What screen resolutions are you playing?

1920x1080

Well, it's your build and you should do what makes you happy, that said a 290X is total overkill for that resolution. A 280x/7970 would be a better idea if you want to save money and will probably be able to play any game at the highest settings.

Lol, 5 minute bump...

I also agree that a 290x is monumental overkill for 1080p and to get a bigger ssd. If you never plan on multiple video cards a quality 550w psu would be plenty as well.

Just so you know a 280X is just a slightly overclocked 7970 so if you can find a 7970 for a better price then the 280x, go with the 7970.
