The first build will be better for gaming
The second build will be better in anything other than gaming

Personally, I would go with first build.

Anyway the 8600 ultra has not been released yet, but I don't know if they have released it early in India !!

As Maroon1 said, the first build will be a little better at gaming as it has the better graphics card.

Me, I'd go for the second build. The 8600 is a little less powerful than the 8800, but not everyone has to have every graphic setting on max. The extra real estate of the 19" vs. the 17" is a factor in that as well.
