PowerSpec G455 vs. PowerSpec G753
753 is higher than 455, so does that make it better?

The 9800x3d every time. Cheaper and faster
I don't know what that means 😔

That's how I found out.

I know the PowerSpec AMD builds are a better deal for this recent sale, but I went with this G455 as it was a newer chipset than the G480 (14900KF), and Intel seems to be higher rated for work/productivity related tasks than AMD.
Between the two, the main intel deal has the better graphics card. Here is a in depth review and comparison between the 5070 TI and 9070 XT graphics cards: https://gamersnexus.net/gpus/amd-...conclusion
but basically the 5070 TI came out on top for gaming performance.
CPU-wise, the AMD CPU is better for gaming, but the intel while still alright for gaming, has better multithreading performance for non-gaming tasks. You'd probably see better gaming performance on the intel machine since it has the better graphics card, despite the CPU being worse for gaming.
I also like having more RAM, and the intel machine has 64GB while the AMD only comes with 32GB(though you could another two sticks and snap them in, just make sure to get the exact same type/brand/timings as what it comes with to avoid any issues)
Both are solid machines with excellent prices, but since they're both gaming machines, I'd say the intel would give you better gaming performance if you can afford the extra $230ish price.

Good use for both purposes? I'm thinking so.
One in my area too. Idk if this will stay relevant through 4 years of high school though…
Thoughts on this, Slickdealers?
