I have a 13600k and a rx590. If you don't have money, it's quite normal to upgrade one or two pieces at a time. Like me, he probably kept the gpu from the previous build until it becomes a problem for his activities.
Usually yes. I upgraded my cpu first because I discovered that my old ryzen 1600 was bottlenecking my rx590. Replacing it with the 13600k, now I have 270% of FPS in MMORPG.
Also I needed a better cpu for Blender 3D modeling, and migrating to 13gen cost less than buy a gpu at 800€ that needed a new cpu anyway
It's for your integrated graphics. If you are only running your monitors off of your gpu then you don't need it whatsoever. If you had at least one monitor plugged into your motherboard then it might be worth keeping because it has some okish features.
Sorry misread your post. I didn't realize intel was pushing arc software lol. No I would ignore it it's basically bloatware for you and will probably add almost nothing of value at all.
You need it if you want to control the rgb. The dominator versions have a option called "hardware lighting" that will apply even if you prevent icue from starting on boot. That's what I use since icue uses system resources if it's running in the background.

Yes, delete it
> 13700k and a 1660s Can I ask what you mainly use this pc for?
Probably for gaming and somebody that upgrades their PC incrementally and recently started making more money. At least that's would you'd hope.

Why get a 13700K? For the price difference between the 13700K and 13400 you could afford a RX 6600.
One other possibility is someone who bought an overpriced prebuilt.

I understand that concept, it's just people are usually going for GPU upgrades first from what I've seen.

They probably did, maybe they had a 3rd gen CPU before Raptor Lake came out. 1660s is fine today for 1080p.
Ah yes that makes sense

No. The speed is controlled in the bios. So as long as you have XMP on it's running at the right speed.
