Which System Would Be My Best Choice?

    Hey guys, it's me - again :p

    First of all, as stated in the other topic: Thank you, for the advice regarding PSU. Did clear up a few bits for me, so I won't have to overthink it (as much) anymore :)

    So, now comes the big question: Which would be the smartest choice?
    I've been looking at ready built systems, I don't want to pick bits and pieces anymore. Maybe at a later point again, but not now.

    I'll see if I can find the English links to the systems I had in mind (apologies if I cannot find them and post them in Dutch (specs remain the same, more or less, just different language)), and I will also tell what I would like to do. Perhaps best, if I start off with that.

    My plans / wishes
    for the new system, is mainly gaming. I am not a gamer of the type that must have the newest of the newest games, but I am more old school (Blizzard games, C&C, Sniper Elite probably the youngest game I play lol) VR isn't needed for me, so that's no concern. Also, I'd like to do some editing of home videos of my pets and hobbies.

    The possible victims I have been looking at, are the following:
    MSI Infinite S 8RA
    MSI Trident 3 (Dutch, sorry.. Specs are towards bottom of page)
    MSI Infinite S 8RB

    If anyone could advise me, I'd be delighted.
    These are the ones I've been looking at, had af ew others but I can't find them anymore.. Not sure how they've gone missing - perhaps I can't remember what sites I saw them at *shrugs*

    Thank you, in advance, and have a lovely week :)

    MSI INfinite S 8RB: better graphics card plus SSD for faster boot/program load.

    Thank you, satrow :)
    It appears I may be out of luck with the 8RB.. The shop that has it, is clear across the country and isn't available online (they have more store locations, just none that have it available..).. so I am digging for alternatives. At least I know what to look for, sort of o.o

    Since I can't edit I'll have to do it this way.
    I came across a few AMD Ryzen-machines. They look great, specs wise. I've always had Amd Athlon (and now Intel due to laptop :p ), so got me wondering: Are the Ryzen just as good and reliable as the Athlons were?

    This is one of the Ryzen machines I've been looking at. Sorry I can't find an English site of it :S Specs are towards the bottom, but I;ll add a screenshot of it, too. (Added translation where / if needed)

    I've been comparing it, and although I can only find comfusing and conflicting posts about AMD Ryzen vs Intel, it does seem a good, solid choice.
    As stated above, I have been owning AMD machines for a long time (about 14 years, ever since I built my first PC myself lol), the Athlons were pretty reliable, never had issues with it. That said, my insides think the Ryzen is a good alternative, considering I don't need VR or any other heavy duty fancy things :p

    Instinct good, or bad? It is confusing.. sorry.. If the answer is obvious, don't be afraid to point it out. It's a big forrest for a little bird to wander through ;)

    The Ryzen seems to have a decent all round spec.; the next step up would be something like this at 200 Euro more.

    That does look good, too.
    I'll keep that in mind and check it over again :)
    Thank you, Satrow ^^
