Question My final two builds.

[Brandon Huala]

I would like compatibility confirmation on the components for these two builds and I would like to know which build you prefer,

these are the following builds:

This is my AMD build:

CPU: Ryzen 9 7950X3D
CPU Cooler: Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX XT 65.57 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX B650-A GAMING WIFI ATX AM5
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
Storage: Crucial P3 Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
Video Card: RTX 4080 Super
Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower
Power Supply: Corsair RM850e (2023) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX


This is my Intel build:

CPU: Core i7-14700K
CPU Cooler: Corsair iCUE H150i ELITE CAPELLIX XT 65.57 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI PRO Z790-A MAX WIFI ATX LGA1700
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL30
Storage: Crucial P3 Plus 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
Video Card: RTX 4080 Super
Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow ATX Mid Tower
Power Supply: Corsair RM850e (2023) 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX

Thank you for any help,

and thank you to any one who responded to my previous post.

You're using the same kit on both platforms, I would look into a dual channel ram kit that has AMD's E.X.P.O advertised on it so you don't run into stability issues. As is, they are both fine.

and I would like to know which build you prefer,
First, we don't know what either of these builds will be taxed with/the purpose of these builds. Second, you're asking us to choose between the two when you're going to be living with said investment for the foreseeable 5 years(assuming that your tasks don't outgrow the build within that timeframe). Third, perhaps if you stylized your thread with info asked of in this thread;

*How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice*

How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel...

forums.tomshardware.com

the community would've streamlined the build for you.

Outside of that, the builds are fine...apart from the ram I just pointed out. I wouldn't go with Corsair AIO's and I'm assuming maybe you don't even need the Ryzen 9 processor. I would also add more storage to the build, a smaller capacity SSD for the OS, app's and launchers.

Moved thread from Components section to Systems section.

Looks like the builds differ only on CPU and motherboard.

AMD CPU costs about 300 more?

On a common benchmark:

Single thread: Intel 8 percent advantage

Multi-thread: AMD 17 percent advantage

I suppose what matters is what you intend to do with the PC.

And one of the boards might have some specific features NOT found on the other. Features that you might actually use is another story.
