This week i just bought a PC for a serious bargain. I'm not crazy about the parts but it was cheap.
This is the build in question: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GnTdXR
The full build comes to about $900 new. The part prices might not be accurate. Some of them are a guess and others based on the local market in EU.

I'm considering selling the PC and building a new one. This was my budget build for 600€: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TmqKBq
I'm leaning towards AMD cards since i run Linux and drivers have better support.
I might put in some better parts if i manage to sell the one i have for a good price.

Should i sell or keep?

IMO, dump it. The 7xxx series CPUs are not Win 11 compatible. That makes it a door stop in a year.

Yeah, the AMD build is far better, and I'd keep the 4060 with it. In the build you picked up, you'll be able to sell the CPU for about 80 euros. The motherboard, RAM, and CPU you can sell as a bundle or separately for maybe 200 euros (but be prepared for less). Not much else that's worth the trouble; the PSU is junk for a gaming build and a cheap AIO that's probably at the very end of its usable life alerady has negative value.
