I'm looking for a Gaming PC that is powerful enough to play Apex Legends 4K@144hz (or 120).

Which one of these is better? (Or are there any other better deals)

Option 1 - Prism 6429 - £3000

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
MBU: ASUS Prime X670-P WiFi
COOLING: Corsair iCUE H150i 360mm ELITE CAPELLIX Liquid
CASE: HYTE Y60 Dual Chamber Mid-Tower ATX Case - Black

Option 2 - Crystal 6566 - £2,750

CPU: Intel Core i7-14700KF
MBU: ASUS Prime Z790-P
COOLING: Cooler Master ML240L V2 RGB
CASE: Corsair iCue 3000D RGB Airflow Black

Both have this:

GPU: RTX 4090
RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 5200MHz C40
NVME: 2TB

    Thank you so much for this link. I just ordered that machine for £2,679.20 (using the 20% new customer discount), comes with the 6000MHz RAM pretty sure, either-way great price.

    I wouldn't buy either. Selling a £3k PC with a bottom-end QLC DRAM-less SSD and a small amount of the worst DDR5 available is a bit of a customer-FU. They're PCs built for headline specs and margins, not performance.

    That is a big budget to play apex. On the other hand, manners cost nothing.

    Loads of videos and data out there to compare these cpu and mobo combos.

    I think you can get away with a 4080, maybe even a 4070ti for Apex @ 144fps 4K with zero drops. That will save at least £500, the top end cards always tend to be terrible bang:buck. Save even more installing Windows yourself from a cheap key.

    Depends how comfortable you are dropping that extra £500. It won't be noticeable in Apex, will be more noticeable in demanding games (but with diminishing returns in full swing).
