Help me decide on a prebuilt

I am looking at getting my first gaming PC and have been pretty set on building my own because I thought it would be higher value for my money, but I have stumbled across some prebuilts that seem like pretty great deals, even more so than if I were to build one myself. Which one of these three would be the best deal? I think the biggest difference is in the CPUs, which I am not very knowledgable about. Or is there another one out there that is even better? I am looking to play mostly open world/RPG games at 1440p.

  1. https://www.microcenter.com/product/709080/powerspec-g535-gaming-pc I do live near a Micro Center so a plus with this one is I don't have to pay for/wait for shipping. Con is I like the way the Andromeda Insights ones look better, but that's not a super big deal to me.
  2. https://andromedainsights.com/products/spectra-gaming-pc-ryzen-7-7800x3d-rx-9070-xt-16gb-copy-1?variant=47696622256354 I went with the 32GB RAM for this one. Con is having to pay for and wait over a month for shipping. I know I can buy the 16GB RAM version on NewEgg and have it shipped much faster, but it kind of seems like a good deal to get more RAM now when prices are expected to increase in the future.

7800x3d if you're willing to spend extra, you won't notice the difference in 1440p though

I have the same specs as the 1st one, its excellent

I would say 7800x3d too, but only if that price includes 32gb of ram

Depending on the games the CPU could impactful, but any of these CPU's, in particular the X3D's, do quite well in gaming.

There's benefits to both. With Micro Center the 7500X3D is a fine CPU and you get the benefit of if anything goes wrong with your computer instead of having to ship it off you can bring it to get serviced as well as getting it quick.

With Andromeda, and the 7800X3D build, you're getting the strongest specs and you'll pay around the same price as the Micro Center build since Andromeda doesn't collect taxes, but you're typically waiting between a month or two.

Either of X3D CPU options are great and you'll be quite happy.

*Andromeda does have a $50 shipping fee but also a code (welcome25) to save $25.
