Help me choose~ used PC upgrade.

Build Help

I've been scouring the used markets in my country (Israel) and these are the best options I have so far, one has a clear upgrade path but lacks value for performance, other has instant value as 4070's go for a lot here (~850$), so it's a good deal:

I'm gonna keep things short this time as my last post didn't get much attention probably because it was too long.

SO if you had to choose:

  • 7800x3d+3080 fully assembled, assume other parts are all good enough. (750w gold psu, nvme ssds, new case, decent cooler etc)

For 1220$ (I'll be reusing some parts for this one, but let's just keep things simple)

OR

  • i5 13500 + 4070 (same for other parts)

For 910$

Use cases:

1080p gaming. Specifically I wanna average around 140 fps on marvel rivals (probably with dlss, no frame-gen), and play other non-comp titles on decent settings years to come.

One gives you a clear upgrade path, other is very nice price to performance for the difference.

Just assume those are your only two options. Buying online from like amazon/newegg is not an option for me- taxes and shipping make it very not worthwhile.
