[SOLVED] Trying to choose between AMD and Intel systems

[Empty Spaces]

Hi Everyone,

looking to buy a new system as soon as i can get this dilemma sorted, what to build ....... i have a budget of $3000 and have come up with these, its 5-7 years between my builds so im always way behind and out of touch.

Im really only a gamer with a bit of basic graphic design and i wont be getting a 4K monitor yet if these builds can even run one, only need 1080 ATM

ive never had a AMD system before so the AMD build might be way out, anyway a couple of questions:

1. do these builds work in their current form, everything play together nicely and no issues when throwing it together ? especially the CPU fan, is it ok for normal use.
2. can i do better for my $3000 ?

Im in Australia if that make any difference.

The Z690 motherboard won't work with an AMD cpu.

I'd look to make these changes to your build and btw stay away from Thermaltake power supplies.

Not sure if it was but a brief sale, but, thought I recently read on Tom's that the Ryzen 7 5800X was down to sub-$300 on Amazon? (That's a lot of performance for what only 6 months ago was decent even for 5600X pricing)
