Your current configuration? I'm not sure. What board are you using now? And how would it look if you built it from the ground up today? Thanks, Sweden!

I chose a 3600x since back then it offered a solid CPU and included a built-in cooler, making it a bit more affordable. Nowadays, many models skip the cooler, so going with Intel would be a smarter pick—cheaper and still delivers better performance.

Hello, Yes but using an Intel cooler is also possible. Just look at this build here: https://se.pcpartpicker.com/b/mTmkcf $200 cooler for the i7-13700K
