So I just rebuilt my pc and I went through previous programs I have saved while looking up new ones and I found a lot of overlapping. Out of the list below which ones should I keep. I want to keep the fewest needed so which ones do the most/best. Though I also will want to keep any that are redundant except if they have a niche service. THanks.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

So I just rebuilt my pc
Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

I'd ditch HWMonitor in favor of HWInfo.
