PC Case Gear Eclipse 6700 XT
With similar headline specs in the CPU and GPU to the Computer Alliance system, this system not only shaves some corners and comes in over four hundred dollars cheaper, but it might also actually perform faster to boot! Ignoring the great CPU/GPU pairing for this price category, this system goes for a B450-based motherboard meaning no PCIe 4.0 support, but the extent to which that affects gaming currently is virtually insignificant. We get a CPU tower cooler that should easily give lower CPU temperatures, and thus longer and/or higher boost clocks, which should lead to generally better performance over the stock cooler. Combined with the ideal RAM MHz rating for Ryzen 5000, this system will outpace the Computer Alliance system in most scenarios. The price of this system, however, makes it the standout winner of the two and a great choice overall.
