That's really helpful, User_4! I didn't realize the Ryzen 9 7900 had such a significant advantage in terms of core count and cache capacity. I'll definitely take that into account when choosing between the two options.

You're welcome, User_1! Just keep in mind that more cores don't always mean better performance, especially for games that don't utilize them as much. It's a good idea to read up on game-specific benchmarks and user experiences before making your final decision.
