Best build option and recommendations

[TheGosuStandard]

Budget (including currency): $1750

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games and Programming

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): Already have the GPU (Asus 3060 TI 8GB Mini)

 

I'm looking to get recommendations on which of the two build paths are better or if there are better options available aside from these two. The first build is from a friend and the second build was from the store I picked up the GPU from.

Thanks for any help and recommendations

If you plan on using Windows 11 I'd recommend option 1. My reason for this is that the Intel CPU in that system is not fully supported by the scheduler in Windows 10.

Personally, I would go with option 2 as I'm gonna run Windows 10 until it reaches EOL, plus I'm a bit of an AMD shill at the moment (sometimes to my own dismay).

 

Another thing you should consider when choosing is the warranty on the systems. Let's say something in option 1 breaks. What is the warranty on that machine? Option 2 is a better option in that case since (hopefully) the store that build it for you should offer warranty on the entire machine and if something breaks you can just drop it off with them so they can fix it for you.

For cpu cooler that supports both AMD and Intel processors of your choice above, I suggest you use Noctua's NH-D15 cpu air cooler.

I'd recommend the NH-U12A because is delivers the same performance while being smaller. This is nice because it gives more flexibility in terms of case compatibility.

I'd recommend NH-U12A too, but for a non-K variant of the 12700. But since in the OP's list is a 12700K, the NH-D15 plays best when overclocking. I have both coolers. 

 

And the NH-D15 is compatible with the OP's parts list options in both systems.
