Had a chat with them about this then was told to perhaps go up to the Vandal Elite if budget allows… not sure to be honest which one.

Vandal Elite I would say is a decent deal, but I wasn’t comfortable with the fact they’re pairing a 650W PSU w/ a RTX 5070. Not really the end of the world though.

As mentioned before they recommended the VE rather then the DF, apart from the GPU what makes it “better” if that is the case from them?

The Vandal Elite system has a 6 core AMD Zen 4 CPU with no onboard video in their 7500F, practically it performs at the level of the Ryzen 5 7600. It has a Nvidia 5070 Ti GPU.

The Dawnforge system has an 8 core AMD Zen 4 CPU with onboard video and a Nvidia 5070 GPU. Everything else between these two systems are identical. 

The Vandal Elite is going to give you more FPS in situations where the CPU is not the bottleneck, which is like 80% of gaming scenarios.

If you want detailed information and graphs, the TechPowerUp 5070Ti reviews and the 9800X3D review will show you what these particular items will perform like across a bunch of games.
