Hello everyone! It's been approximately 5 years since I last built a PC, and the time has finally arrived for me to embark on a new PC-building adventure. Here are my current PC specs: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3qTvLD. However, now I'm considering two different builds that I have come up with, one based on AMD/Ryzen and the other on Intel/Nvidia. I must confess that I've always been a fan of Intel and Nvidia, mainly due to my familiarity with them in the past. If the price/perfromence does not change I would like to stay with Intel/Nvidia

I would greatly appreciate any feedback or suggestions for potential changes. My budget for this build is around $2,000, preferably less. Additionally, I'm aiming to future-proof this PC for another 5+ years of reliable performance.

The two builds I've come up with.

Both builds are pretty decent. What workloads are you planning to run?
