Microcenter PowerSpec best value?

g535: 9070xt + 7500x3d + 32gb ram for $1599

g729: 9070xt + 7800x3d + 32gb ram for $1699

g760: 9070xt + 9800x3d + 32gb ram for $1799

g757 5080 + 9800x3d + 32gb for $2499

Interested in getting one of the above prebuilts, mainly playing PoE1/2 and for heavy gaming. Don't have a lot of AAA games since have been gaming with a laptop primarily, but would be interested if PC had capability to. Which of these would be best? Probably will game on 1440p mainly unless there's a really cheap 4k monitor. 9070xt looks like great value and unsure which CPU would be best, heard that 8-core cpu is good, but is it needed and does it matter from 7800->9800x3d?

Hi all. Started building this and feel like I have dumped a good amount of currency into it, but still struggling to do good damage with similar investment on other builds, particularly even doing 20% low investment juiced breach (dying so much and using 4+ portals, doing very little damage especially to breach boss). Explosions are great when they happen, but can sometimes not be enough with stronger rares consistently. Still have about 700d to throw into the build, but wondering most efficient ways to spend currency as all upgrades seem pricy... Looked at other builds and considered:

  1. Efficacy imbue on corrupting fever (would require swapping respite ring to likely high life ring to cover for life cost)

  2. Upgrading megalo's to include more relevant notables with primordial bond (but seems to be spanning from 80d to outside budget for more rare clusters)

  3. Getting lvl21 herald/golem gems, but seems low return on investment given that these are more end-game chase gems?

  4. Wand can be upgraded, but feels like the mirrored wand is the most realistic next-step upgrade in terms of maximizing value?

Looking for any further guidance.
