I am looking to pick up a pre-built and have been leaning towards the G718 or G518. I haven't been able to find any reviews. Thoughts?

AMD Ryzen 7 7700 3.8GHz Processor; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB GDDR6; 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM; 1TB Solid State Drive for $1265

I know building is an option but from what I am seeing seeing a Windows key + build fee does not save me much.

Primary use is Fusion 360, maybe light SolidWorks work, and regular browsing (email, Excel, YouTube). I'd like a GPU in case I want to game but this is not a gaming PC.

G518 has more games oriented cpu but it's also one generation older than Ryzen 7700 so I would would suggest G718 if you don't mind price difference. It will do anything you ask of it and will have more options to upgrade next about 5+ years.
