Due to reasons there's no point delving into right now, I'm trying to build a new machine under these peculiar and non negotiable constraints:
- I must buy a pre-built brand name system (Dell, HP and Lenovo are strongly preferred). Building my PC from parts is out of the question;
- I have to have it up and running by the end of the month;
- Budget is ~1800€, but everything here comes with a 19% sales tax, so that leaves me with ~1400€;
- The money has been granted to me under the above conditions. If I don't use by the end of the month, I lose it. Whatever I don't spend I must return, therefore my build should aim to maximize the amount spent, without going over budget,
As for my future upgrade needs, I'm trying to make it as good a system as possible from the get go, because this will be my workhorse for the next couple of years, hopefully more, if at all possible.
I have to buy whatever is in stock now, and quick. I'm at my wits' end trying to decide between the following builds (and a few others very similar):
A. OMEN by HP Orisa GT12-0045nq | Intel® Core™ i7-10700K | Z450 | 16GB DDR4 | 512GB SSD NVMe | NVIDIA RTX 2070 SUPER 8GB | Free DOS
B. LENOVO Legion T5 28IMB05 | Intel Core i9-10900 | B460 | 32GB | HDD 1TB + SSD 512GB | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super 8GB | Free DOS
C. Lenovo Legion T5 26AMR5 | AMD Ryzen™ 7 3700X | 16GB DDR4 | 512GB SSD | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GDDR6 | Free DOS
D. Dell Precision 3630 Tower | Intel® Core™ i9-9900K | 16GB DDR4 | 512GB SSD NVMe | NVIDIA Quadro P2200 5GB | Windows 10 Pro
Which one would you choose, and why? Please explain your reasoning. I'm especially conflicted between 10700K+Z490 vs 10900+B460. Secondary sources of conflict are 16 GB vs 32 GB of RAM and RTX vs Quadro.
It's hard to choose between predefined options, doesnt't it? And it sucks to be forced to choose like this...but this is how it is, I'm trying to make the best of it.
Many thanks for your expert help!
