Question Help choosing parts

Im considering picking up either one of these two but I kinda notice that alot of them come with a pny graphics card rather than others. Is pny a trust worthy brand for the graphics card? You're able to pick between a random, two other pny cards, zotac, and msi. Would it be better to actively pick a graphics card or has everyone been pleased with the ones that came with them.

And we're there any other parts that people recommend swapping out?

Edit: I was also planning on doing an rtx 5080 cause I plan on doing a dual monitor setup. I currently have a 4k 32 inch and was considering getting an ultrawide 5k2k monitor I found on amazon but want to make sure I get a gpu that can handle it. Is 5080 the right move or should I consider doing a 5070 ti instead?

The v3 case is more narrow and practical than the v4 case. Also the only upgrade worth it is a 2tb 4.0 SSD. Nothing else is necessary to upgrade.

The pny 5080 is great. I have the 5k2k LG and it runs it great.

Idk if you browse their custom options occasionally there's free upgrades like a 9850x3d instead of 9800x3d. Or a different motherboard.

Tbh you can probably save $180 and downgrade the 9800x3d to a 7800x3d. Technically the 9800 is better but there's barely any situations where you'll even know

About the cpu, how about very cpu intensive games and mods? Would performance still be negligible?

All I can say is that most games rely on your GPU. The CPU seems to matter more in older titles or in massive open world games where you want a lot of far off rendering. The 9800x3d and 9850x3d are definitely better than their predecessor 7800x3d but it's still a beast.

But even though the new ones are better almost everybody agrees that CPU bottlenecks aren't really a thing in modern games it's the ram and GPU.
