it's fine. the limiting factor in CPU peroformance is the power wall and the leakage power dissipated into the cooler. 25% less cores means 25% less heat means your clock speeds won't be throttled as often. That's why it bench tests 20% weaker despite having 25% less cores while saving you 30% of the cost

cmon now you don't need a 2tb nvme. get a 1tb now and save for a 4-8 tb hdd later for your movies and games be reasonable he's on a budget

don't pay a premium for an nvidia 5070 if you want price-performance ratio
