From my previous post (Hi all,

I'm currently in the process of thinking what my next pc build should look like. I'm a web developer and I'll be using this pc in my free time. I don't game, so I don't think I need a dedicated graphics card. I'm thinking about going with an Intel CPU, since all the jobs I've worked so far use Intel rather than AMD for some reason. I know that it doesn't matter much, since web development isn't so hard on the hardware, but I'm basically trying to to get the most power for my money, with no updates in the near future.

Here's the build - https://pcpartpicker.com/list/NzcWrG.

Initially, I was thinking to go for the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K instead of the Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus, but the 9 seemed a bit older than the 7. I've chosen DDR5 and SSD with PCI 5 because it's the latest and greatest, and I can use the money that I would have otherwise used for a dedicated GPU.)

So this is basically a v2 for the build.
