Hey everyone! My sister is in the market for a new PC mainly for playing League of Legends and The Sims, but she also wants something decent for trying out some AAA games. She'll be playing at 1080p. I'm stuck between two setups and could use some advice.
Here's what I'm considering:
**AMD PC:**
- AMD R5 7500F CPU
- Gigabyte B650 Gaming X AX V2 Motherboard
- Team T Force 16GB Vulkan Black Expo 6000MHz CL38 DDR5 RAM
- Gigabyte Gaming OC RX9060XT 16GB GPU
- WD Blue SN5100 NVMe 1TB SSD
- Phanteks P360A Case
- MSI MAG A650BN 80+ PSU
- ID Cooling SE225XT Cooler
**Intel PC:**
- Intel Ultra 5 245KF CPU
- Asrock H810M-H Motherboard
- Corsair 16GB Vengeance 5600MHz CL36 DDR5 RAM
- Asrock Challenger RX9060XT 16GB GPU
- Kioxia Exceria Plus G3 1TB NVMe SSD
- NZXT H5 Flow Case with 750W 80+ PSU
- Cooler Master Hyper 212 Halo Black Cooler
The Intel setup is a bit cheaper, which makes me lean that way. Any thoughts on which one I should choose?

I'd definitely recommend going for the AMD build! It offers better future upgradability. The PSU choice might not be the best, but it should work fine with that CPU and GPU combo. Plus, the AMD processors usually provide great performance for gaming.
Thanks for the input! I think my sister will stick with this setup for at least 5 years, so if she does decide to upgrade, it’s good to know the AMD gives her options.
