I am not a tech savvy person - and my son needs a new gaming desktop that can run Monster Hunter Wilds. Could you please help me figure out if either of these two options will work? Option 1 is significantly cheaper, so I’m holding my fingers crossed for that one.
Thank you all in advance!

7800X3D is AM5 which is AMDs current socket. Of the choices presented, this is the most likely to be supported in the future, which is why I suggested this option.
I never suggested an AM4 setup, nor is it an option presented. I’m merely sharing an anecdote that my current 5800X3D is still very relevant for gaming, so I believe a 7800X3D will fare similarly.
