Budget (including currency): +- €1500

Country: Belgium

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Daily office work, some light design/drawing via Wacom Cintiq 16

Other details 

Dad needs a new system, he is a landscape architect/professor. Mostly for standard office work eg. mail, lots of chrome tabs, some heavier files of blueprints, 2x1080p+11440p monitors and blueprint drawing via Wacom Cintiq 16

We are going for a pre-build from a Belgian shop, because of warranty, support etc since it is for his business. 

There are basically three (or five actually) options we are looking at with the only difference being the CPU and GPU, all other parts of the systems are identical.

 

- Core i5-14600KF (or Ryzen 5 7600x) + RTX 4060 for €1399 

- Core i5-14600KF (or Ryzen 5 7600x) + RTX 4060 Ti for €1499

- Ryzen 5 7600x + RX 7800 XT for €1599

 

What would you guys recommend?

- 14600KF vs 7600x (Intel is on B760 chipset, AMD on the B650)

- 4060 vs 4060Ti vs RX 7800 XT

 

Thanks for the input!

What ram are in the systems? You still get a warranty with building your own pc it’s just for the individual parts not a whole.

With custom parts, you can bring the price down to ~1200€ [without shipping]: (and still have things like 2 year warranty on Azerty website where almost half the parts come from cheapest)

And for ~100€ the PC could be bit faster/smoother.

dont put any k serries cpus with mid range motherboards, i did it once, k cpus usually need so much more power than the none k verients, and mid tyre motherboards usually designed for mid tyre cpus for example, the highest cpu i use on an even high end b chipset is any cpu with max turbo power of 150w, for anything higher than that i go with z chipsets , becaouse of the power they need the vrms on the motherboard would go as high as 110 degree c when you stress test it, we have some really high end b chipsets with crazy prices but i never recomend them, because you can buy a z790 at the same price as them, also 14600kf is too strong for 4060ti, lower your cpu or choose better motherboard and gpu, also the most important part of a pc is power supply which these assembling companies usually choose the cheapest psu capable of runing that components except very few ones, also please specify what softwares he use, you can use that tablet with diffrent softwares if i remember correctly
