~2.3k Budget for PC Advice

[Sephhhh]

Hi all, given that tech show is here, would need your kind advices. I'm currently looking at 2 setups below. Will be using it for work/gaming and will look to pair it with a LG C5 42".

My knowledge is horrid so I won't be looking at DIY-ing. Which of the above 2 would you all recommend? Or if there are any others around the same price point. Thanks!!

neither, both feel quite overpriced for what is on offer. i would rather get a 78x3d + 9070xt build for significantly cheaper (<1.9k), then spend the difference upgrading psu and maybe ram/ssd/case. the performance diff btween 78x3d and 98x3d is 10% at best at lower resolutions like 1080p, for ur 4k tv i doubt u will be able to tell the difference. u can also consider 78x3d + 5070ti builds that are also cheaper than either of these linked systems for slightly better raster performance, much better raytracing performance and the more well rounded nv feature set.

I would get each part individually, ASUS B850M AYW OC or MSI B850MPOWER and 9800X3D/7800X3D, its more difficult to get good memory now since there has been a 50% price hike over the past few months.
Either get 9070XT or 5070Ti on sale, should fit your budget.

Thanks @fkchon but I'd prefer to buy a ready to ship version.

hi @NightRaven49 , based off what you mentioned i think the below from aftershock matches the closest:

see a cheaper AMD variant at invaders PC:

any recommendations? any PSU you'd suggest for upgrading as well?

Both are almost same spec. I will choose the cheaper option.
