Question I'm looking at mid-level gaming systems and can't decide which one ?

[Shnippie]

So I've been looking at three computers that I think will do the job, and I'm not sure if they are a) worth the cost, and b) which one of them is the better value. I know I could probably save some money by making it myself, I'm not sure how much I could actually shave off though.

The three I'm deciding between are:

Scorptec Cypher RTX 4060 Ti Gaming PC | Ready to Run PCs | Scorptec Computers

Scorptec Cypher RTX 4060 Ti Gaming PC, AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6 Core, B650 Chipset, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, 32GB 5200MHz RAM, 2TB M.2 SSD, Cooler Master Case, 650W PSU, WiFi, Win 11 Home at Scorptec.com.au, the online Gaming PC, server computer and technology experts. Fast delivery to Australia.

and

**Ex Display** Scorptec Enso RTX 4060 Ti Gaming PC | Ready to Run PCs | Scorptec Computers

**Ex Display** Scorptec Enso RTX 4060 Ti Gaming PC, Intel Core i5 12400F 6 Core, Intel B760 Chipset, Gigabyte GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, 32GB 3200MHz RAM, 2TB M.2 NVMe SSD, Bitfenix Enso Mesh Case, 650W PSU, WiFi, Win 11 Home at Scorptec.com.au, the online Gaming PC, server computer and technology...

I'm leaning more to the third one for the better Graphics card, l'm just not sure if the better graphics card is more important, or DDR5 RAM and a better processor.

Also, neither computer has liquid cooling, do you think that's a necessity in one of these, I'm not intending to overclock or anything, I'll basically just be running it as is. If I did think of adding one in at some point, would I need to also upgrade the PSU?

The monitor I'm using is an Asus PG279Q.

You have a similar thread posed about a year ago;

Question - Looking to buy two computers, which would you recommend?

Hey guys! I was looking at just buying a prebuilt computer, and these are the two I was looking at. The Scorptec one was the cheapest I could find with a 3080 and a 12th gen Core i7. But then I stumbled across the BPC Tech one, and it seems too good to be true. I'm happy to upgrade the RAM...

and the consensus is that you get to choose what goes into your build as opposed to being given a list of parts by a brand or shop/store.

If you want us to stick to the 3 options posted above, my vote goes with this;

Scorptec Cypher RTX 4060 Ti Gaming PC | Ready to Run PCs | Scorptec Computers

Scorptec Cypher RTX 4060 Ti Gaming PC, AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6 Core, B650 Chipset, GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, 32GB 5200MHz RAM, 2TB M.2 SSD, Cooler Master Case, 650W PSU, WiFi, Win 11 Home at Scorptec.com.au, the online Gaming PC, server computer and technology experts. Fast delivery to Australia.

^ 5200mhz ram is the only draw back i see. But otherwise yes, i also suggest this option.

I'd lean toward the i5 with the better gpu and also a better psu.
I would not put a psu in a gaming rig that had less than a 7yr warranty.

I've decided to build my own, so I can get all the components that I'm after.

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/dGRq34

This is a rough list of what I'm going for. Happy to take suggestions of different motherboards or power supplies though. Both of those will require about a 2 week shipping that I'm more than happy to avoid if I can.

This looks like a nice balanced build. I see the 7600x is only a few dollars more, it's faster out of the box and will boost higher than the 7600 will, even with PBO and everything enabled, it's worth the price difference.

On the GPU, do you want raytracing (at the cost of performance)? If you don't, I would suggest the new AMD RX 7800 XT as it's cheaper and in most games faster than the 4070, and the 16GB is more future proof. Plus, if you have both an AMD CPU and GPU then you get "Smart Access Memory", which helps get you more performance. But this is your choice, the RTX 4070 is a good GPU too.

tweaked a bit:

high quality mobo with high amp caps

better performing SSD

better gpu
