Yes a bunch of benchmark sites still show that the "equivalent INTEL cpus" are still comparably better, it's only better than AMD for high processing stuff. The consensus from actual people i've talk to is that if you're using PC only for gaming and basic tasks AMD is overall better, uses less power and generates less heat, cheaper in price, and better running games, Intel is better at non-game stuff i guess although AMD is no slouch. Something about the cores that each company uses like AMD has less but each core runs better and Intel has way more cores but all the extra ones are not used when it's only for games, don't take my word for it. So that's why i wanted to own AMD for once even though i've been using Intel for all past desktops. Don't think you can go wrong if going w/ Intel, if your decision factors around the cpu, they're still INTEL.
What i've noticed while browsing online is barely any AMD prebuilts are on slickdeals and not that many choices online either, seems like most prebuilts and sales are INTEL, like they have some secret (not so secret?) hold on the market/retailers. This is my first prebuilt that i bought, all past desktops were built, definitely harder to find exactly what you want at a "price-i-want" when shopping prebuilts.
EDIT: Benchmarks I'm looking at are here.

Intel i7 14700F scores nearly 45k, AMD 7800X3D scores 35k.
With that said, I put some programs and utilities on the OS drive, and games on the NAS.

in any event, the nice thing about havign an os drive just for os is that if anything happens no big deal. just pull replace.

If not for this situation, wouldve waited for holiday sales like 7/4 and if nothing good then wait end of year sale. It's only going to get cheaper when next Gen parts prepare to come out
Review:
Mine came in yesterday, the top magnetic mesh had 2 tiny dents on it, will pretend it's not there. First time dealing with expanding packaging foam used to protect pc insides, thought I was gonna break something trying to rip that thing out. Everything else looks pretty good, didn't like that several specs didn't specify brand and model on the site. Opened tower, saw that mobo was Gigabyte, GPU was MSI, ram was T-force (who?), power supply details unknown, was buried under proprietary case, ssd was Gigabyte I think; rest of the parts seem solid quality. Case quality good enough for it's function and just enough to hide if not looking closely that budgeting was focused there. Hoping this desktop will last for years like my past ones.
I don't play new release games, so I turned up RDR2 game (got it recently) and set settings to near max and PC wasn't even sweating (should've maxed it out), still quiet after 2 hrs of play and blowing out cool breeze, not sure if bc of AIO. Was impressed since I've been running budget PCs mostly. My last pc was Asus Zephyrus w/ a 2070 and handled med-high settings but would have loud fans and run hot, good laptop tho.
Sad lessons learned: Didn't know what nvme was almost thought the desktop was missing an entire drive when I was exploring and pulled out the extra empty drive tray. Didn't know Bluetooth needed antennas, I left the wifi antenna uninstalled to prevent snagging wires under table then when I tried to link several Xbox controllers for Steam games, it was bugging out like crazy.
This IMHO is a great deal, on a pre-built that is not limited on upgradeability bcoz of some kind of proprietary design.
