Will be a 100% gaming rig. And I'm more of a 'plug and play', rather than tinkering / optimising (without help).

I was all set on the AMD 7900XTX / a new X3D build (have purchased everything, so if I got Intel I will need to exchange some parts) but the cost / supply / conflicting online reviews has just all become a little stressful and time consuming. So I've just thought, with a little extra budget could I just do a Intel / 4090 rig? At this point I just want to get something built.

I'm by no means a pc expert, and usually go off recommendations / research / and surface level knowledge. We're talking YouTube benchmarks to see performance in games I play and reviews.

I will also be getting this built by someone else. Any help / input much appreciated.

Cheers!

Neither, for 100% gaming I'd get the 7800X3D with a 4090, but if you have to choose one, the 4090 build will have superior gaming performance in the majority of games at higher resolutions.

I totally agree .

Either the 13700k or wait for the 7800X3D. would get the 4090 also.

I don’t think you would notice much between those systems so I buy on price.

I would add at least another 2TB storage drive while you are getting it built as with the size of games today I quickly run out
