In my opinion the second one won't provide much upgradeability since the next generation of Intel CPUs are coming out later this year and will use a newer chipset which a Z68 motherboard won't support. Therefore you'd be limited to only the current generation, so it would be illogical to buy an expensive motherboard now just for 'future upgradeability'. That's unless you are looking to overclock, however I doubt that with a Pentium.
The Z68 chipset supports Ivybridge, however it will not support the series after that

This would be used for gaming and possibly recording.
Edit: Oops, one is missing a PSU.
2 or 3 months.A long-ass time.Oh boy, visual basic. I can barely contain my excitement. Not.
The latter I believe, it allows for upgrading in the future, also the former is lacking a PSU.

It's fine you are correct however, first does have a better CPU, but the second one's Pentium is a very capable CPU as well
