I'm looking to buy a pre-built PC and I've found two potential builds available in my area. I understand that prices are a bit inflated due to local market conditions, but I've checked multiple sellers, and the prices are pretty consistent. Here are the details of the two builds:
**Build 1:**
- GPU: Zotac 5090
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9900
- RAM: 48GB DDR5 Corsair with AMD EXPO
- Storage: 2TB M.2 NVMe Kingston NV3
- Cooler: Cooler Master MasterLiquid 360 Core II RGB
- Case: XPG STARKER AIR BTF ATX with 3 front fans
- PSU: Gamdias Helios P2, 1000W 80 Plus Gold
- **Price:** $7,136
**Build 2:**
- GPU: Asus ROG Strix 5090
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950
- RAM: 48GB Corsair
- Storage: 1TB SSD Crucial T500
- PSU: Asus ROG Thor, 1200W
- Case: Cougar Duoface
- **Price:** $8,500
I'm open to any help or comments on which build would be the better option!

Those prices seem pretty steep for pre-built rigs. You might want to check on the motherboard specs too, especially if they’re using something outdated with these components. With the current prices, I was expecting at least Gen 5 M.2 SSDs. Just curiously, is there really no way to order individual parts to Colombia? That could save you some money!
GameWizard92: I looked into ordering parts, but the pricing was pretty similar in local markets or even on Amazon.

Just to clarify, did you mean the Ryzen 9 9900 or could it possibly be the 9950 variant?
GameWizard92: It's definitely the 9900, thanks for the heads up!
