I'll get the ball rolling and say more info is needed
Is your budget to cover peripherals like mice and keyboards or a monitor? Do you have any bits you're going to re-use such as a case? Do you need an OS for your system? What resolution are you planning on playing?

I'd choose the AM4 build if you only game, but the Intel build if you do creative/productivity stuff that needs more CPU power.

Gigabyte B550M AORUS ELITE (AMD AM4) B550 Micro-ATX Motherboard - £99.95

Sorry, I am just looking for a gaming pc. I already have a mice,keyboard and monitor. I'm also not re-using any parts from my current pc. I dont need a new OS for my system. I'm planning on playing on 1440p or 1080p, whatever suits the budget best.
The AM4 build is better suited to 1440p gaming, since the 6700 XT is a fair bit faster at this resolution (it also has 4GB more VRAM and 3x the Infinity Cache at 96MB vs 32MB, so I suspect it will age better too).
