What cpu would you recommend ?

You just need to change that RAM to the RGB variant and then you will be the king of all things shiny 👍

I would opt for the 3600mhz RAM, if not bothering with Shiny of course.

I would leave all the fans as they are though, they are all good fans across the build you have selected. You can turn all the lighting off via the software for the stealth look

With regards to the case, the 680X is actually a better performer (I don't think that any would ever perform better than it) but I do understand it's bulky. If you're a function over form kinda guy, the 680X is definitely on point.

I did want to opt for 3600mhz ram but have heard there is alot of issues currently with it

Definitely function over form !

Just go for the 5900X, 4 extra cores for ~43 when you would be paying ~244 for 2 cores going from a 5600X to a 5800X?

As we go into the future applications will only become more and more tailored to using more cores, in that sense having more cores would benefit you more.

At the moment the 5600X would probably do you for gaming only, given that Zen 3 CPUs generally perform around the same for games - unless there's a major change in the utilization of additional cores in the future then the best cost-performance CPU for games is the 5600X.

nowadays its £222 for 5800 - 5900 and £95 jump 5600 - 5800x
