32 GB RAM 16×2 7200 MHZ DDR5
1000 PSU
X TYPE MOBO

SPEC 2
I7 14700KF
RTX 4090
32 GB RAM 16×2 DDR 5 6800 mhz
1000 PSU

You/your friend should look at the specs for the games to be played.

Most software manufacturers (inluding games) provide some listing of required hardware/software specs.

Usually in the form of minimal, recommended, and best.

You/your friend do not want minimal and you do want as much best as can be afforded.

Compare listed SPECx (1 and 2) to the requirements of the games.

What is the budget?

The Ryzen I would get simply because intel ATM is having alot of performance issues and failure wouldn't recommend intel with a 20 foot pole

Both builds look great, but given your friend's focus on multiplayer online games, I'd suggest going with the second option featuring the i7 14700KF and RTX 4090. This setup will offer a bit more power for demanding titles and keep the system relevant longer. The RAM speed difference is minor, and both builds have strong power supplies and motherboards. Overall, the RTX 4090's performance edge makes it a solid choice. And when you decided to choose this, reset your firestick remote to default settings.

I also would not get the 14700k right now, with all the problems Intel has having. If gaming is the only goal, go with a 7800x3d. Keep in mind that Ryzen 9000 releases in about a week, so deals might emerge afterwards, for 7000 series chips.
