This one interests me the most as while expensive seems a good value even ignoring ramagedden and ssd pricing. 64gb of ram is a big plus I would benefit from my work. At a minimum I want 5080 or maybe 9070xt performance.

It's $4,800. USD. All the PCs are from microcenter so I trust it. This is an HP Omen.
• Intel Core Ultra 9 285K (3.2GHz) Processor
• 64GB DDR5-5600 RAM
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Graphics Card
• 2TB PCIe M.2 NVMe Gen4 SSD
• 2.5GbE LAN, 2x2 WiFi 6E

I can get basically the same PC but with a 9800x3d for $5,000 but doesn't seem worth spending $200 extra but I'm open to the idea.

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D (4.7GHz) Processor
Gigabyte B850 Gaming WiFi6 Motherboard
32GB DDR5-6000 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Graphics Card
2TB NVMe SSD

I would pay the extra money for a 9800x3d becuase with an x3d cache, it will outperform even the core ultra 9 by a high margin.

#

Not to mention AMD has committed to years of support for am5 while intel changes their architecture periodically

# real flame if you dont mind what is your use case in your work

It's classified but the workload we don't know what it needs exactly.

At the least a decent CPU and seemingly 32gb of ram. It doesn't seem to need a GPU. But given the important nature If theirs even a chance I would get it.

Since it's for personal use too I'd be partial for pleasure part for work
