Great news, 3DSublime! :D
Hi Nakamuram. Since you asked, I went with an i5-12600k on an Asus B660M Wifi TUF Gaming mobo (very slick!), 64GB Oloy 3600 ram, an asus Rog Strix 3060 card (amazingly over-engineered for just a 3060), a corsair psu, WD Black SN850 1TB SSD and WD Black 4TB SATA drive in an attractive Lian li mesh case. I went with air cooling for the CPU. It's whisper-quiet. It generally runs 30-35C for GPU and CPU. The hottest I've recorded was 50C when the temp in the room was already too hot. That part was really important to me! I also reserved some budget for new monitors, including an X-Pen tablet monitor.It's not that impressive in the grand scheme of contemporary performance, but it runs all my software as intended. I don't have to worry that anything will melt while I'm working. It's also a great leap over my previous system, a 2015 Costco Dell 8900 with i7-6700 processor, 16GB ram, GTX 745 4GB graphics card and 1TB SATA 7200 rpm drive that usually rocketed up to 85 or 90C and sounded like a vacuum cleaner when pushed. I'm happy with the way it all turned out.
If you were wondering, yes I did use a stack of legos as a support strut for the GPU. LOL!
