I'm about to build a new gaming PC, and I'm torn between two configurations. My priority is playing high-graphic, story-driven games at 1080p resolution with high FPS on ultra settings. I also want to make sure my build is future-proof since I might switch to a 4K monitor later. Here are the two setups I'm considering:
**Build 1:**
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (Tray)
- GPU: RTX 5080 16GB (SOLID)
- RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz
**Build 2:**
- CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 265K
- GPU: RTX 5080 16GB (SOLID)
- RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz
Which one do you think would be the better choice for my needs? I'm really looking for a setup that can handle current games and keeps up well in the future, especially if I decide to game at 4K later on. I'd appreciate any advice!

Honestly, Build 1 is probably the best choice. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D outperforms the Intel Ultra 7 265K in gaming, making it a no-brainer for someone who wants high performance at 1080p.
If you're mainly gaming at 1080p, the RTX 5080 is overkill, but it sets you up nicely for 4K later on. I'd definitely go with Build 1; AMD has been crushing Intel in gaming lately, so it's a solid choice for future-proofing.
Ok... So I pick up the first one :))
Hmmm. Thanks for your input!
