Which midrange gaming system?

[deathhated]

Budget (including currency): ₪6000

Country: Israel

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming - 1080p/1440p

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Intel:

• CPU: I5-10400F
• Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 Corsair H45
• MOBO: Gigabyte B460M DS3H Asus Prime B460-K
• RAM: HyperX Fury 2x8 3200MHz
• GPU: MSI RTX 3070 Ventus 3X
• HDD: WD 1TB
• SSD: WD 500GB
• PSU: Corsair TX550M Corsair RM750
• Case: Antec NX200

 

AMD:

• CPU: Ryzen 5 3500X
• Cooler: Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240 Corsair H45
• MOBO: Asus PRIME B450M-K II Asus Prime B450M-A II
• RAM: HyperX Fury 2x8 3200MHz
• GPU: MSI RTX 3070 Ventus 3X
• HDD: WD 1TB
• SSD: WD 500GB
• PSU: Corsair TX550M Corsair RM750
• Case: Antec NX200

I am thinking between both of these builds, and it only has a price difference of $2 (₪10)

Which would be the better pick and why? Also, should I upgrade the PSU or is this fine? Thanks in advance!

Which of the two builds would be better for mainly gaming?

tbh both cpus are actually decent, if you plan on primarily streaming and/or gaming, intel can be a good option, if for productivity, I recommend get a ryzen 5 3600 at at least fine price especially in europe (in amazon.de, I wouldn't think the 3-10 euro markup imo of the price of this cpu).
also if you plan on upgrading above intel core i5 in the future, I recommend you get a motherboard with at least one vrm heatsink, and I think in general I would if you want cool vrms but both cpus arent that hot so you are safe but just a tip and recommendation...

well he wants to get 3500x not 3600 which is worse than 10400f in productivity due to lack of smt

and from a single core performance point of view they are very close if you don't overclock 3500x which gives it edge 

so i recommend 10400f system but if yo can get better mobo but the current choice is also ok

if that's not a problem

I have edited your thread title to be less likely to cause issues. Our rules specifically say "No X vs Y" threads.

I plan on only gaming (no productivity, I don't know stuff xD) But I'll keep that in mind, I'll try changing stuff

 

What about the Asus Prime B460M - https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/All-series/PRIME-B460M-K/?

I was thinking about the 3600 but the price diff is around $40-50

My bad, I just used this site now so have no idea yet about rules, but thanks for that!
