I had upgraded a while ago to Win11 on the 3770k system.  It is still receiving patches and updates.  If it stops receiving updates I will revert to Win10.

I sold the Asus ROG strix 5800X PC for a small profit and bought a custom built PC from box.co.uk:

Specs:

Case: Phantek P500a

Processor: i7 12700k

Mboard: MSI Z690 Tomahawk DDR5

Ram: 32GB Kingston Fury 5600MHz

Cooler: Corsair H150i Elite Capellix

PSU: 850W Seasonic Focus GX

GPU: Kept my existing RTX 2070

Paid less than what I sold the AMD system for.

Only problem with box.co.uk is that they did not send any of the parts/accessories that were not used.  Looks like it got lost somehow.

Did the ASUS ROG not live up to expectations or did you just get bored ;)

You have summed me up in one sentence.  I got bored as I like tinkering with my PC.  The ASUS ROG pre-built had a proprietary motherboard.  Not much upgrade path with Zen 3.  With LGA 1700 Raptor lake will be supported apparently plus it has DDR5 and PCIe 5.0.

The MSI Z690 Tomahawk does sound interesting and I do like the MSI brand, good kit at a fair price.

And INTEL where it matters

The Z690 Tomahawk motherboard is really good.  Lots of headroom for overclocking.  I am liking the MSI bios more than ASUS.

Whats with the Corsair H150i Elite Capellix , is it for all that overclocking heat generation. ?

Huge piece of cooling equipment with smart RGB lights, must need its own PSU ;-)

Yes, you need the  Corsair H150i Elite Capellix to tame the i7 12700k.  Plus it gives a lot of headroom to overclock the CPU in the future.

Hope you will be able to afford the electricity bill when you turn this rig on
