I tried to keep it below 1000 as much as I could (with a monitor included in the price)
Thoughts + tips?
I'm open to other pcp lists
(also the cpu is in a microcenter combo deal with the mobo and RAM which is why its 16gb)

dont u have to activate it or is it really not that important
there is zero performance loss and zero real usability loss if its unactivated

oh yeah its the 9600x
instead of the 7600x
that shouldnt make a difference tho
frosty dagger
both are the same board
exotic eagle
its just a lower ghz 9600x oh alr
frosty dagger
the 9600X is a bit faster
exotic eagle
but not enough to make a difference?
frosty dagger
eh if ya got the money why not
a bit more modern and a bit more performance meh why not
also a bit more power efficent
