Unsure on what the brand of the CPU Cooler is any help on this?

 

[Citrus_9]

Why would you spend your money on Intel when AMD is currently much better? What would this PC be for? Specifically, what games and software will run? What's the monitor size, refresh rate, resolution? Do you have a monitor or thinking to get one? What's your budget?

And please include link to your specs.

Have a read this and let me know what you think.

AMD Vs Intel

So some of you aren't aware of the reasons why so many people are heading away from Intel to AMD, so thought it would be important to lay that out for people to refer back to. A lot of you will go to cpubenchmark or userbenchmark to find performance metrics for CPU's. These sites are complete...

That’s crazy, thank you for your advice I appreciate it definitely won’t be looking into Intel now I’ve read that article

Just a quick comment on my above build.

This build is assuming your monitor is 27 and not ultrawide.

Faster RAM as AMD likes fast RAM.

[Edited] I've left HDD at 1TB but I think you could increase to 2TB - they're cheap these days. Changed M.2 to 500GB, I think you could even go with 1TB. 256TB is not recommended - too low and SSD should always be kept with at least 20% empty space to keep performance and lifespan.

Don't cheap out for storage, get M.2 for OS and software and maybe large games to load quicker (if games go to M.2, you definitely need 1TB), HDD just for work files, music, photos and backup files. I would consider whether M.2 500GB/1TB and a standard SSD at 1 or 2 TB, depending on your needs. HDD shouldn't be filled with games nowadays - just for work files.

Took a better cooler but as a result there's no space for 3 x RGB case fans as your AIO cooler I specced has 3 fans and case has left with space for 2 more only.

Wifi changed to AX as N is old technology.

If you have Windows 10 on your old machine which you won't use, you may link your licence online on MS and then transfer on to a new PC - that would save you some cash.
