Building new PC which build is better?

Thank you for insisting enough so i checked about memory OC and locked CPUs so it seams i will look at 13700+B790 combo.
B790 chipset didn't exist. Middle class chipsets are B760(and H770, when it be released)
 
I vote build 2, however I am biased to water cooling especially because the 13th gen high end processors tend to run warm. The NH-D15 is an excellent cooler but I just think its easier and quieter to go liquid cooling.

As for the motherboard choices, both are just fine and wont make a lick of difference performance wise. I would say get which ever you can get for cheaper.

As writen in first post i would power limit 13700K with both builds so it can be air cooled

Yea, but why limit performance? Let it run the way its supposed to and run water cooling. Really the pumps are very reliable now a days, I have pumps that have been running for 5+ years no issues.
