Hey everyone! I'm trying to decide between two different PC builds for my work in 3D design using Blender, video editing with DaVinci Resolve, gaming, simulation tasks, and programming. I'm looking to upgrade my setup and expand my content creation. Here are the builds I'm considering:
First, we have this black beast: [link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/kwcJ2x)
And then there's this white beast, though the power supply is black—just a heads up that I'm planning to modify it. I use the term 'sankring' from Arabic, which is like modding but with even wilder ideas! Here's the link: [link](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WBcJ2x)
I intentionally left the case out for future discussions since I have some cool ideas brewing that I'll ask about later. Which build do you think would be the smarter choice?

Honestly, go for the AMD CPU, it's a no-brainer if gaming is a big part of your work. Trust me, it'll handle your needs way better!
I'd definitely recommend going with the AMD CPU, especially the 9950X3D—it's really great for gaming. You can check out how it stacks up against the other CPU in different tasks [here](https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/amd-ryzen-9-9950x3d-and-9900x3d-content-creation-review/). Just a heads up, though, splurging on too much RAM can actually slow things down instead of speeding them up.
Thanks for the tip! I really appreciate the insight.
