Thanks for advices

The tracer has pretty much the same specs as the extreme but for $200 cheaper. With that said there's no mention of the psu as in model and wattage, no mention of the RAM speed and no mention of what motherboard is being used. A system such as those ones require a 650w psu, 2x8GB of 3200Mhz CL16 dual channel RAM and a B560 motherboard with decent VRM's. If it's a cheap board with sucky VRM's then that system will throttle down as soon as the cpu kicks into turbo boost and the VRM's heat up.

One of them got win10 and the other win11, is windows 11 worth 200$ more?

Nope. If it was an Alder Lake 12 gen cpu then you'd want Windows 11.

Maybe you can recommend something from bestbuy for around 1700$?

Everyone of the prebuilts on Bestbuy fails to mention the model of psu, board, etc .. and I looked at almost all of them just now. I also noticed most of the cases used for them have horrible front ventilation/airflow. Unless you have a line of credit at Bestbuy I'd order the parts and build it myself or take the parts to a local PC shop and pay them to build it for you. You can also order the parts from Bestbuy and have them or a local shop build it. Check Amazon and Ebay for new gpu's such as an RTX 3060, 3060 Ti or 3070. 550w psu for an RTX 3060 and 650w psu for a 3060 Ti and 3070.

Intel Core i5-11400F Review - The Best Rocket Lake

The Core i5-11400F is Intel's most affordable Rocket Lake processor. While its multiplier is locked, you can still adjust the power limit. Once we did that, the CPU ran over 15% faster and almost matched the Core i5-11600K. We also made an interesting discovery regarding Gear 1 vs. Gear 2.
