Budget (including currency): 800USD-900USD

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Coding, 3D modeling, game dev, not intensive gaming

 

It seems like the 14700K has gone way down in price (315$ on amazon), and now I'm not sure what to choose:

This had led to the intel build being 60$ less.

Is AMD worth the extra 60$ for my kind of workload, considering too possible instability/temp issues/power issues from intel?

Also, are there any red flags in my builds?

I would say so, I just wouldn't recommend an Intel system at this point in time with their degradation issues. They might say they've fixed them, but only time will say for sure, and for a dev machine I wouldn't trust anything like that.

They both look fine, nothing that bad. The only thing I might change is the motherboard, since you would likely be just fine with one much cheaper.
