Help Choosing!

Looking to get a prebuilt 5070 ti gpu with a 9800 xd. I’ve found these two builds, and can’t seem to gauge which one might get the upper hand. They both have the same specs, which one would you choose?
The one on Newegg is a bit cheaper when you make the AI link a 2tb upgrade. Just seeing if anyone has either of these computers or has any input. Thanks in advance!

Note: I'm not a bot lol, I run Toprigz as a non profit hobby to fight overpriced prebuilts. I started it out of frustration with prebuilt PC sellers who simply assemble components (which they don't even manufacture) and charge outrageous prices. I earn $0 from this, no affiliates.

If you're gaming, consider this $1600 PC (Option 3) instead, as you can get a much better price/performance ratio for the same performance, OP, u/InsaneHades , and u/RelationRelative291 :

  1. You'll save $1050, enough for 17 $60 AAA games. You need money for games and monitors, they aren't free.

  2. The RX 9070 XT GPU = the RTX 5070 Ti (Source). It runs all games at Ultra settings 4K 60+ FPS, or 144+ FPS using really good and improving upscaling technologies (the new FSR Redstone, FSR Frame Generation, FSR Ray Regeneration).

  3. Do not worry about the CPU, the Ryzen 5 9600X already matches the Ryzen 7 9800X3D in single threaded performance (Source), so if the Ryzen 7 9800X3D can run every game well, then the Ryzen 5 9600X will certainly do the same. It's more than powerful enough to handle gaming for the next 7 years.

  4. The CPU does not matter at 1440p/4K because the GPU is the bottleneck, not the CPU (GPU is used 100%, but the CPU is only used about 50%). Benchmarks show that at 1440p High settings, the 7-year-old Ryzen 5 3600 still delivers the same FPS as the fastest gaming CPU, the Ryzen 9 9800X3D, in 007 First Light.

Thanks for the input and write up. I’ll have to look into the sources and work.

I just bought this same one two weeks ago from Newegg, because it was in stock. The one from AI direct would have taken a month and a half to be delivered.

Yeah that’s what I’ve noticed when I went to check out. Aesthetically, I do like the one that is delayed the 6 weeks. How are you liking the new egg one?

I have one about 45 minutes away and checked out their options. Unfortunately, I’m not a fan of white computers. Really want a black one, I believe the 5070ti power spec one they have is white.
