Provide any additional details you wish below.

• Cooling should be sufficient for running CPU intensive tasks with full load for extended periods of time
• I do not make excessive use of multithreading so I decided to go for the i7 rather than a Ryzen. Opinions on that?
• Could I go for an even smaller power PSU?
• Is there potential for saving money?
