Budget (including currency): 1500 € (Euro)

Country: Portugal

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mostly gaming but also software development

 

PC 1:

 

CPU: Intel i9-11900F

GPU: PNY RTX 3060 12GB Single Fan

MOTHERBOARD: ASUS PRO H510M-C/CSM

RAM: 16GB 3200MHz CL19 Team Group Elite

SSD: 512GB CX2 Team Group

PSU: NOX Hummer Alpha 600W 80+ Bronze

CASE: ATX NOX Hummer TGM RGB

 

PC 2:

 

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500X

Cooler: Water Cooler Slayer RX120 FRGB

GPU: AMD RX 6700 XT 12GB

MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte B550M S2H

RAM: 16GB 3200MHz CL19 Lexar

SSD: 512GB BlueRay M12S

PSU: EVGA 600W 80+ White

CASE: Eurotech Slayer RX23 Rage ARGB

EXTRA: There is an option to add a 2TB HDD Toshiba P300

 

My local shop has these 2 desktops that fit my budget, but I don't know what is the best choice for me. I'm mostly looking to play newer games like AC: Valhalla, Horizon New Dawn, etc..

I'm also going to work, mostly with Android studio, for my job.

 

What would be the best option with the choices available?

What resolution & refresh rate?

 

My first 'gut reaction' would be to avoid the Intel system, as their base level chipsets (H510, in that example) are awful for upgrade potential.

Current PC spec. in my profile.
Can I realistically call myself a gamer, if I only play ONE, twenty year old game...?

Did you test boot it, before you built in into the case?

WHY NOT...?!

I'd go with PC 1

The CPU is much stronger, which will be a huge help for Android Studio and for your work. Nvidia's broadcast suite (RTX voice, background blur, etc.) should also be useful if you have video calls for work.

Gaming performance on both PCs will be very good, but PC 2 is slightly better in gaming.

it depends if you lean more towards gaming or development

pc 1 will do much better with software development because of the extra cores

while pc 2 will be about 15-20% better in gaming

Well, the i9-11900 is WAY better than the 3500X, but why H510M...?
I would go for the intel system though.

Sounds like a store-own 'pre-built'...

Small, local PC shops (stores) tend to build systems to move parts en masse, but they don't always have a good choice.

i just looked up some comparisons on youtube, nothing scientific

gaming system: Intel core I9 12900ks / biostar Z690A valkyrie / 4x8gb corsair Vengeance @3333Mhz ram / RX 7900XTX pulse gpu / Thermalright peerless assassin 140 /Coolermaster Qube 500 case / Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 12 1500w power supply

H510M is a budget chipset (usually) why would it be paired with a top of the line CPU..?

(I edited that post - probably all they had.)

I would go for amd, easier to upgrade in the future if you ever need to and seems pretty solid what you have overall. Only issue here is finding your gpu.

The PC is a pre-built one, the issue was just if for what I wanted, it would be enough

I'm not looking to play at 4k (at least for now) so 2560 x 1440 at 75Hz is probably what I would be aiming for.

 

Thanks for the answers guys 😉
