I used to opt for AMD chips when building a machine, as AMD were traditionally better suited to gaming and Intel fared better at number crunching tasks, but either would be more than enough for my needs.

I hate to bring the bad news, but since 13th gen(2022 i think) Intel is good only for heating and electricity generation.
Piglet:
Yeah. I wouldn't go Intel unless I wanted to use it in place of a boiler to heat my house.
Grim_Fandango:
It won't be running any warmer than room temp' for a while yet as Amazon have again sent 3 x cables instead of 3 x case fans...f'n nuggets!!!
Stealer:
Aye, IDE cables were even worse. I only realised the holes in the metal plate where the mobo is mounted are cable runs (in the last decade). I was a bit slow mentally!
Hope you get it sorted soon Grim.
Ordered an air purifier from amazon last year. They accidentally sent two instead of one. In effect it was buy one get one free, in the end. They didn't want the second one back.

I thought I should show it as it is before I change/upgrade again. The photos don't do the PC justice as it's all gold lit (camera colours are off) with gold trim on black. Sometimes I turn off the LEDs as I can take it or leave it :) Oh, and I play UT2004 in 4K Ultra settings to make it worth my while having the PC in the first place heh.
