I would have probably stayed away from Intel, but looks pretty good regardless. 8ghz, wow.

I got so burnt on my last build (5800x, RTX 3090), airflow w/ the 3090 was a nightmare and even once I went to a water cooled 4090 (and yolo'd a 5950x upgrade too... because.. uh.. I might stream so extra threads??) I still had issues. Turned out an AIO I had on my CPU was somehow overheating and triggering a shutdown. After all this I'm not sure I'll build a high end PC again, almost want that reassurance of a pre-build, so I have someone else to blame for doing it poorly.

Really need to cobble some parts together so the kids have a low-end PC for productivity / light gaming (son has been using my Steam Deck, everyone else sticks to their consoles). A project for the summer... which will be here in a couple months I suppose. Blah.

Outside of investigating how much anyone could possibly spend on a computer, what was your goal?
