When starting a new PC build, it's worth considering which components from your previous system you can repurpose.

You have the option to reuse your existing video card and HDD, which is nearly three times faster than what you currently possess. With ample storage capacity, you might even utilize your HDD solely for backup purposes.
The design is more compact. You may need a fan splitter cable, which should cost around five dollars.

Perfectly cooled 50+ decibels if he's planning to use that 14100 for serious tasks, though that's just my take. I tend to suggest 20-40 dollar coolers that perform much better at cooling and offer more boost at cooler temps.

Interesting! Do you know if anyone has a similar comparison that highlights the CPU value (performance vs price) instead of just performance? I believe such a view would be more practical.

In theory, AMD and Intel are equal in my balance, but given Intel's risk of dominating the x86 market, my preference leans slightly toward AMD (at least until AMD achieves a more balanced share).
So, I’m leaning to choose AMD.
PS: I'm not too confident about artificial benchmarks. I'm using a more recent laptop with an i5 7440hq now.
CPU-Z shows this CPU at 146%, while the AMD FX reference is at 100%.
My compiler gives a completely different answer.
These artificial tests usually perform basic math tasks in a loop, which can result in highly uneven outcomes.
I was talking about the RM1 cooler. I also purchased a RH1 cooler on eBay. It comes as part of a set, not sold apart. It looks very good. I installed it in an i9-12900K using an ITX case and it worked adequately for my needs. It seems unlikely to be suitable for most users with high-end processors like the I9. From a cost perspective, the RM1 offers essentially no expense if you compare its performance to its price (essentially free). It’s a great option to test without any commitment.
