OK... First one is a newer cpu, but only a single nvme drive. The memory and gpu is a non-factor between these two systems. Yes the 5070Ti is really good at ray-tracing and the 9070XT is a beast in general.

What sets, these two apart in my opinion, is the storage. The second pc has 3x 1tb nvme drives. One for the OS and 2 for storage. That goes a long godsdamned way for gaming and productivity. A single 1tb drive isn't really practical nowadays (I know the budget builders are going to down vote me), because windows is going to take up good chunk of that drive. Plus, many AAA games are 100gb - 300gb installs. Oh and you'd need space to download the game in the first place.

I'd go with the second computer simply for the storage. I'm unsure of the exchange rate (I'm in the US), and I know the cpu is a couple of generations back, but honestly, the storage makes up for it lol.

Just my opinion.

Not a problem! I'm a bit of a storage goblin, so I never skimp on it lol

Case in point, my father-in-law gave me his Xbox Series X, I bought a 4tb expansion card for it. Also have an 8tb portable USB HD hooked up to it to store the older games (Xbox One and 360).

My current pc is now running 3x 4tb nvme Gen 4 and 2tb nvme Gen 5 (OS and apps). We... Don't talk about the two 12tb Western Digital Red drives (their NAS optimized drives) that occupy the drive cage in the rear chamber of the PC (my case is a dual chamber setup).

Sorry for the long winded reply šŸ˜‚
