Been slowly upgrading a prebuilt from 2009. I’ve upgraded everything but the mobo, ram, cpu, and cooler. Was hoping someone could do a sanity check on my build to make sure it’s good for a few years at least.
You could easily save on the cooler and put it towards an NVMe drive.
Check this out to compare but I’d up the cpu to a x3D at least

I’ve updated my build. How’s this look? link
What are you using the PC for? I think the X3D CPUs do much better for gaming at the expense of productivity performance.
Yeah this will be primarily for gaming. It also will probably be upgraded over time as well.
As the other commenter said, what is your use case?
Overall it looks solid, the CPU outpaces the GPU a little bit but if you plan to upgrade that in the future this is a great first upgrade.
You could probably go with air cooled but we’re talking ~2-30$ of savings max for maybe more sound.
If you’re making this for gaming get a 7700x3d
I’d highly suggest you get an nvme SSD at some point in time ideally in the 1-2tb range, it’ll be a huge improvement you can notice right away.
Overall the build looks good, some min-maxing you could do but we’d need more info to be sure.
Oddly enough i don’t see pc parts picker showing the 7700x3xd as an option.
