Help deciding between two Prebuilts for 4K Gaming: RTX 5080 (DDR4) vs. Ryzen 7 9800X3D (5070 Ti)

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to buy a new prebuilt PC primarily for 4K gaming (targeting 60-120 FPS). I live in Austria and found two options at almost the same price (around €2,300). I’m having a hard time deciding which trade-off is better for 4K.

Option 1 (€2,299): The GPU Powerhouse

• CPU: Intel Core i5-13600KF

• GPU: Nvidia RTX 5080 (16GB)

• RAM: 32GB DDR4 3600MHz

• Storage: 2TB NVMe SSD

• Link: MediaMarkt AT (Note: Link says 4080 Super but the config is listed as 5080 in the store).

Option 2 (€2,278 incl. AT tax): The Modern Platform

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

• GPU: Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti (16GB)

• RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz

• Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD

• Link: Systemtreff DE

(RE Requiem and Crimson Desert Included)

My Dilemma:

I know the 9800X3D is the "best gaming CPU," but since I'm playing at 4K, I feel like the RTX 5080 might give me a much better experience despite being on the older DDR4/Intel platform. I also get 2TB of storage.

Which one would you pick for 4K? Is the 5080 worth the "dead" Intel platform, or should I go with the better CPU/DDR5 and the weaker GPU?

Thanks!
