Thank you for the updates!

 

Is anything wrong with the NZXT case? I personally liked the way it looked.

Also, why the 5700X over the 5800X? Is it because of price to performance?

The 5700X runs a lot cooler while giving you similar performance. It's a few years newer than the 5800X. The Lancool 216 is tough to beat in regards to airflow.

At 1600$ we can do better.

With this in terms of upgrade all you need to think of is the GPU. But this is pretty much a good all rounder with CUDA in mind.

Quick Sync Video is a huge power saver when all you need to do is just watch youtube, and the iGPU will save you the headache of not having a spare GPU. But yeah, Airo is something id love to slap in, but the Eagle OC is a bit of an upgrade with ball bearing fan instead of sleeve in the Windforce and Gaming.

Thank you so much for the updates!

 

I already have the CPU (AMD 5800X), Cooler (Noctua NH-D15), and Memory (Trident Z DDR4-3200), so are those worth upgrading? Sorry for not clarifying that in my original post.

Throw the cooler in the build instead of PA120, and keep an eye on the updated NF-A15 when NH-D15 v2 comes out. Beyond that the leap from 5800 to 13700 is super noticeable in most productivity workload thanks to both the IPC improvement and their inability to scale more than 16-20 threads so Intel's Thread Director can flex its muscle and clear background task in the Efficiency Cores to clear the 16 performance thread in the 8 Performance Core for the foreground app, leading to pretty sizable difference between it and Zen 4 platform.

The question would be whether your productivity apps scale with DDR5 speed improvement. If not, swap for a DDR4 motherboard and save more money.
