Build AdviceKeep or flip?
This week I purchased a PC at a great discount. The components aren't perfect, but it was affordable.
The build I'm evaluating is here:

The complete setup would cost around $900 new. The prices shown might be estimates, depending on the EU market.
I'm thinking about selling the current PC and buying a new one. My previous budget was 600€ for this build:

I'm planning to go with AMD cards since I use Linux and drivers are well supported.
If I can sell the existing unit for a fair price, maybe upgrading would be worth it.
Should I sell or keep?
According to this, the 7xxx series CPUs don't work with Windows 11. This means they're likely to become obsolete soon.
Yeah, the AMD version looks much better, and I’d stick with the 4060. In the build you get to sell the CPU for around 80 euros. The motherboard, RAM, and CPU can be sold together or apart for about 200 euros (though you might not get much). There’s not much else worth the effort; the PSU is really bad for a gaming rig and a cheap AIO is likely near the end of its life anyway, giving you little value.
Have you considered looking into alternative GPUs? Your GTX 950 might not meet the requirements for that price range.
