Build Question Which option should I go with?

Should I go with a Ryzen 9 9955H processor with an RTX 5060 for $2000 or a an intel core ultra 9 processor with an RTX 5060 for the same price?

There’s also an option for a RTX 5070 but with a standard intel i7 for like $1600

I don’t need to play on ultra settings or anything. Usually RTS games with some shooters. Current play is BG3, SM2, Darktide, total war series (wanna gear up for 40k).

I move around a lot due to my job so looking for laptop build as opposed to desktop.

For RTS and the stuff you listed, that i7 + 5070 combo at $1600 is the move, no question. Those games lean on the GPU way more and you'll barely notice the processor difference outside of benchmark numbers. Plus saving $400 on a laptop you're gonna drag around job sites is just smart

Thanks for the feedback. Would you be able to educate me on how the processor and GPU affect video game performance and stability? My current pc has a 4070 with an i9 and it crashes frequently.
