Question Can you help me decide between two pre-builts

[Valdibrandr]

Hello. I am looking to purchase a pre-built PC for gaming and am looking at two. These specific ones allow me to pay per month but get it now and is the only reason I wasn't looking at other brands or models.

and
https://www.amazon.com/iBuyPower-Sl...eshA5N4601/dp/B0CCZYRNHK?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1
I have other SSDs I can add to the ibuypower. I noticed the differences were ddr4 vs ddr5 and Intel vs AMD processors. Also for a reference if it matters, I currently game on on a 1060 3gb with an old i5-9400F 2.9hz. I play mostly FPS and MMOs and don't mind not using Ultra settings.

On both builds, you're not informed of what the make and model of the PSU is in the builds. In spite of the Skytech prebuilt stating that you get a 600W unit. Make and model of the motherboard is also devoid on both. You do get a 360mm AIO on the iBuyPower build.

I don't really like either one.

13700F is powerful, but kind of overkill for just gaming.

R5-7600 is a good platform, but without motherboard details I am less than enthused. Mostly like a single stick of memory, but that isn't as bad with DDR5 as it is with DDR4.

Here are some builds over at Newegg. I like the MSI ones, because you pretty much get all MSI parts. PSU, Motherboard, GPU, so at least those parts will be possibly better.

I would disagree on the 13700f being overkill for just gaming. There are games that will make use of those 8 P-Cores. I do agree neither system is well configured. If either of those systems' pictures are any indication, their motherboards are bottom of the barrel junk. PSU quality questionable at best. iBuypower doesn't exactly have a great reputation here for being reliable. What are the full system specs, of your current system?

Yeah, that was more or less what I was thinking, too much spent on CPU not enough on GPU. 8P cores is a nice to have, most games will run just fine with 6.
