Which one is better?

[Nilscl]

I just want to know which pc is better value 

 

PC 1 ACER PC

Intel  I5 14400F

1x 16Gb DDR5 5600MHz

512GB SSD

RTX 4060

850 Euro

 

 

PC 2 HP PC

Intel  I5 14400F

2x 8Gb DDR4 3200MHz

1TB SSD

RTX 4060

890 Euro

What models are the SSD?

 

I might have picked the Acer since it's DDR5, perhaps more upgradeable later down the road.

Sometime DDR4 is going to be phased out.

But 1x 16gb is not dual channel, weird that they sell it like that...

 

You could add a second SSD to the Acer for your games.

The second one has better out of the box specs, but both have an imbalanced CPU/GPU combo imo, a bad value GPU, and are you sure you want to buy an intel CPU with the current situation? You can make a better PC yourself

I dont have the time or know how to build a computer. Also there arent a lot of options in europe because of import fees. What is the current situation with inte CPU's? Thanks!

Me :

May as well just get the DDR5, then buy another stick or a whole new 2 sticks kit to make it run dual channel.

Then buy a 2nd drive for storage as well.

Which country? I can try to make a PC list that will be better than this PC, and assembling it really is easy, you can do it with 1 tutorial. The intel 13 and 14th gen CPUs have been failing, and intel did extend the warranty, but only for the BOX version of those CPUs, so if you bought a prebuilt, or built a PC yourself with an OEM version, then you just lost 100s of $

[Mumintroll]

Intel has problem with degradation and permanent damage due to voltage issues in 13th and 14th gen cpus.

A microcode update will hopefully come in a week or so.

 

But if you can find an AMD prebuilt perhaps that would be better.
