You're choosing Intel because the 3700X offers superior value and nearly identical performance.

This setup offers a more evenly balanced configuration, giving you a solid foundation for future adjustments. I wasn't certain if storage was necessary, but I included my recommendations just in case. AMD is a cost-effective choice and delivers performance comparable to other options, especially if you're not targeting 1080p at 2080i. RGB lighting can be integrated wherever suits your preference.

I know this is a little old but, 3800x or 9700K. roughly the same price, give or take $50. Thoughts?
