    unless it's in an absolute hotbox of a case, the D15 should be more than enough to keep a 13600k at reasonable temps.
     
    it draws a ton less power than a 13700k or 13900k (unless it was being OC'd) 
     
    A 280 aio, if your case supports it, will likely beat the heatsinks.

    Reliability first personally so id stick to the cooler, but AIO does a neck better in choked condition.

    That case is restricted in the front for fresh air. Not much you can do about that aside from either modifying the case (I.e drill holes into the front panel) or getting another case that is more airflow focused. 
     
    My choice would be ak620 for price/performance.

    The 13600 isn't *that* hot a CPU, so any of those cooler should be fine.
     
    I'd personally get the AK-620 if I were buying it.

    To be expected, either CPU and GPU needs very breathable case and the Lancool 2 lags behind on it compared to the mesh version.
     
    For premium, ive been waiting for this to drop. I would absolutely go for this one but the AK620 is good too. I wouldnt go for either Noctuas until they come out with NH-D15 v2 in 2024, and you cant even take advantage of the offset mount that Noctua has because that only benefits AMD.

    Also if this is getting too complicated for you, then just go with the ASUS TUF Gaming F15 Core i5 11400H, 8GB RAM, RTX 3050
     
    This will probably work fine for you unless your software is as heavy as something like Zbrush.

    If you already have a desktop PC then you can see how resource heavy that software is. What you specially want to know is how your processor does and compare it to the  Look at how the software utlizised your processor while working on your projects using HWinfo. Look if it is single threat or multi thread when using different fuctions of it.
     
    For example when you rotate around your heaviest model, make changes to it,..
     
    Then you'll need to know how much RAM is being occupied, you can keep a look out for your GPU load and GPU dedicated memory load as well for good measure.
     
    This will help you realize what exactly you need and what difference the CPU makes to your work and what you will need to buy. Unfortunetly that software is not as popular as something like Zbrush or Substance painter,... With those software I could just tell you what you need because they are better known and I know and easier to choose for. So depending on how this goes, you might not even need a more powerful laptop than the HP Victus One you've mentioned which has a really nice processor.
     
     
    The ASUS TUF Gaming F15 Core i5 11400H, 8GB RAM, RTX 3050 you've linked is okay. It has 6 cores and 12m cache and up to 4.5ghz. definitely a better choice for professional work compared to the other ASUS TUF you've mentioned with the Ryzen 4600h. Will still need to ask for a memory upgrade from the 8gb to at least 16gb. But do run those tests I've mentioned with your software to see how it goes. I wouldn't suggest any of these laptops for a software like Zbrush for example, but that's why you need to know the software better to know what you're buying.

    The Dental Cad software support site should list it's recommended and minimum specs for a system to run it. Find those and base your decision off of that. Hell, call them or contact their support line and see if they have a specific laptop in mind for it. I've worked with a few Dental Cad software supports for clients before and most of the time if you just ask them they'll already have recommendations ready. However, most use DC software on desktops not laptops so they might not have a recommendation specifically for that.
     
    At the very least find the spec requirements for the program and link them here so we at least know what is needed. Typically anything with a decent, compatible CPU and GPU and at least 16GB of ram should be able to run DC software just fine. I'd honestly go for whichever one has the best GPU/ CPU combo in it, even if it has 8GB of Ram you should be able to upgrade that later. However, some DC software prefers certain hardware over others so the recommended specs are necessary for us to help you.

    SAM is just AMD's branding of Resizable Bar, which is a universal technology, Intel CPUs could also use it.
    Given the choices, I would go with 12400F and MSI PRO B660M-A, the board is one of the best value B660 board and a great performer. Although 12400F could really be used any cheap B660 board, so that is up to you.
    If you don't plan to upgrade the CPU to higher powered ones, any B660 board would do, but if you, I'd suggest the MSI PRO.
     
    Please note that 12400/5700X will bottleneck your 6900 XT in some games, especially CPU intensive ones such as CP2077 and Spider-man Remastered.
    Old cpu coolers would have to be compatible with the new socket mount, so check around if there are mounting adapters for your cooler, I'd suggest to just use the stock one.
    Sound card is useless nowadays, IDK what would you need it for.

    Well, the tomahawk is a better motherboard but also more expensive, performance wise it performs the same, but the features should be different. If you prefer the tomahawk, then why not. 
    Generally, to judge a board, the features of the board is the first priority, then VRM cooling performance, then looks.

    The XPG is the best on the list, but if you need more power for overclocking, then the NZXT and the Antec will be good.

    The worst A tier will be better than the best B die, so you realistically just want to focus on the position and not the color. 
     
    If I were looking for a unit, I'd just be trying to get the cheapest A tier 850W+ unit, and if a gold/blue unit is only $5-10 more consider getting it instead depending on how flexible your budget it and whether you can use that $5-10 somewhere else in your build. I would go onto where ever you plan to buy a unit from and (assuming they have good filter options), sort price low to high with only 850W+ units, go through each unit and check where it's located, and quickly refer to the tier list to figure out which is the cheapest A tier unit you can find.

    Give it a try. Any issues you would experience would be if you were running the CPU and GPU at 100% of their capabilities with some sort of burn test/benchmark. It will likely be fine for most games. If the PC outrights shuts down(not reboot), you'll know you are in a power deficient situation. I do recommend buying a new PSU regardless, though. It's better to be well above the max load of the PC than being borderline over it. But just installing the card right away and trying it out while waiting for the PSU? Go for it.
     
    The card itself is rated for 300W power draw, the recommended PSU power is for TOTAL system and usually, someone getting a 6900xt would pair it with a similarly high end, high power CPU, hence why it's recommended to have something like 800W. You have an i7-7700k. A 91W TDP CPU. A bit of a far cry from a 12700k that is nearly 200W.

    If you're gonna be overclocking the 6900XT, honestly I'd want a 1000W PSU, since that card and a 13th gen i5 can pull a ton of power under full load and overclocked (though both do scale a fair bit when overclocked). If you're just trying to run the card at stock, the 750W can probably get you by, but I'd still want an 850W unit if you plan to upgrade to a 13600K. 
     
    Do remember that you want to prioritize quality over power spec, a well reviewed 750W will do better than a poorly reviewed 1000W. Consult the PSU tier list to verify that the unit you're trying to buy is high rated. 
     
    I would want to get a better PSU than the one you're currently running though, it's a very low end unit and it's not designed to handle the sustained power draw of a 6900 XT (300W at stock), and it's not designed to handle the amount of transient spikes that card can produce (momentary jumps to well over 600W). It doesn't even have enough 8 pin power connectors to be able to run the GPU.

    In my testing, the 6900 XT in RT is on par to ever so slightly worse than a 3080, so yes it is weak compared to its raster counterpart from Nvidia, but it's not necessarily bad until you get down to the low end options, and it's better than the price similar 3070 Ti. 
     
    Unless you really need CUDA, get the 6900 XT.
