The first one isn't going to be too great. I'd never go with micro atx. I like the second one, besides the graphics card. I think you should get a GTX 660 instead

That's because there's no discrete graphics card, so he's relying on the integrated graphics from the CPU. That's perfectly fine for non-gaming, watching videos or playing on medium-level graphics on Minecraft, but when someone says "gaming computer," they usually want something that can play most videogames, which the first one can't. Still for that price, it definitely has better specs than laptops priced double that.
Second one looks perfect for OP's purposes, except I think he should get at least 500W power supply to be sure.

Micro-ATX would be fine considering it's a super-cheap rig, it's just a lot harder for first-timers because of the small space to work with and cable management can be a pain. As for the 660, the benchmark (http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/common_gpus.html) isn't as good, and considering that the R9 270 is $20 cheaper, it's definitely the way to go (even though I prefer Nvidia to AMD).

PhysX is nice if OP wants to play these games (http://www.physxinfo.com/). Otherwise it doesn't make a huge difference.
Considering that the R9 270X has better benchmarks (http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R9-270X-vs-GeForce-GTX-660) and cheaper, I would still recommend to him to get the R9, even though I'm personally an NVIDIA fan.
