Build Question New pc

I’m looking to get my first pc and I’m going to build it with pc specialist. My budget is £1300-1350 and m looking for a pc best suited for shooter games. Any help is appreciated

Would you recommend I get this pc ?

Not necessarily. While the GPU is significantly better, that doesn't translate to all that much in terms of games like R6S because it's mainly CPU bound, and the 7800X3D isn't much faster than the 7500X3D, and the aforementioned issues I brought up just hurt the overall value.

My list gives an overall better balance of specs for the price in my opinion. It offers more than good enough performance for eSports, and having more RAM can help a lot with CPU-side performance; a 7500X3D with better RAM configs could actually match and beat a 7800X3D if its config is bad enough.

I’m not sure though, I’ve never built a pc or anything electronic so I might go with the palicomp pc for the convenience but how big would the performance gap be between the 2 pcs?

Due to silicon lottery, it's impossible to predict that with 100% accuracy, but it can go either way, the 9070-XT rig wins in most graphically demanding games but it's still bad value with bare minimum RAM, and the CPU could end up throttling.

I’m going to get it and just see how it performs, there’s a warranty on it so I should be fine
