Which is better for 4K gaming?

The Thermaltake, because the RTX 5080 outpaces the RTX 5070 Ti. The 5070 Ti is still a solid 1440p card, but at 4K the 5080 holds higher frame rates.

Which is better for video editing?

The AVGPC. Both use the same Ryzen 9 9900X3D, but 64GB of RAM helps with 4K timelines, effects and background apps, and Windows 11 Pro adds management tools.

Is the AVGPC worth $2,899.68?

That was its only recorded price, as of November 1, 2026. It buys 64GB of RAM, a 1000W Gold PSU and peripherals, but a 5070 Ti build at that price is on the expensive side; check the Thermaltake's current price first.

Do both have the same CPU?

Yes. Both list the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D at 4.4 GHz, so gaming and CPU performance should be close, and the GPU and RAM decide the gap.

Which has more upgrade room?

The AVGPC lists a 1000W Gold ATX 3.0 power supply and a full tower case with extra drive bays, which leaves more headroom for a future GPU. The Thermaltake's PSU is not stated.

Do I need to buy a keyboard and mouse with the Thermaltake?

Yes, none are listed for the Thermaltake. The AVGPC includes a gaming keyboard and mouse, which narrows the price gap.

Thermaltake LCGS View 9080-380XL Gaming Desktop vs AVGPC FrostFire Creator Gaming PC AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, 2TB nVME, 64GB RAM DDR5, 360mm Liquid Cooling, Win 11 Pro, White

Buy the Thermaltake LCGS View 9080-380XL if gaming frame rate is the priority: its RTX 5080 is a clear step above the RTX 5070 Ti. Buy the AVGPC FrostFire if you edit video, run VMs or multitask heavily, since 64GB of RAM and Windows 11 Pro matter more there than the faster GPU. The AVGPC's only recorded price is $2,899.68 as of November 1, 2026; no price was given for the Thermaltake, so compare its current store price against that figure before deciding.
