New pc builder, require knowledge

[Firestarter712]

Budget (including currency): $1500

Country: murica

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Ark, accounting software/excel, siege

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): I am a first time builder who would like a pc for both professional and recreational activities. I am trying to look for parts for my budget that includes a 4070 ti (even if it’s not seen good to the majority) below are 2 specs that I have for both Intel and amd processing units, would like feedback for either systems

Intel would be the play for Microsoft office, and I don't think you'll need CUDA for your work until Microsoft added CUDA support (which i highly doubt would help in Excel or Access where it would matter the most) so going with AMD GPU here isn't a death sentence like in other work like video editing.

You'll definitely want a better cpu cooler for either build. I would recommend intel 13th gen for the cpu, and RTX 4070 for the gpu. 2TB of storage would be best, and you'll want a far better motherboard as well.
