On the higher end of the budget, nicer case and modular PSU;

Cheaper, the motherboard, case and PSU are still perfectly fine just a little less featured;

XFire support so you can easily add a 2nd 380 at any point. Modular PSU is handy as well, god send IMO. I personally can;t stand non modular PSU's any more.

Same performance, but smaller SSD, less RAM, and a fairly poor motherboard. The CPU is a little poorer. Also, you lose XFire support since you have a smaller, non-modular PSU.
