For those on the fence about upgrading from old gen CPU: this is all you need to change and al else can remain the same. Ideally you should swap out the power supply unit but that is completely optional. If you have upgrade in mind, this is a really cheap way to get ready for a graphic card upgrade, all the way into 4090 and possibly more. Sure, it will leave "performance on the table" that more money would grab, but I am reaching out to those who are so budget sensitive even $100 more will cause ginormous stress.

I should have also mentioned that this CPU is a "F" version meaning a separate graphic card is needed to run this CPU. "K" means unlocked and overclocking compatible but such activity is best left to hardcore performance optimizers. Take it from intel that they do more QC testing to release unlocked K versions that can operate under hotter temperature, stress etc so overall you are getting a "better lot" than standard CPU without the "K". However, this is not a CPU you want to overclock as there is far little to gain overclocking an i5 than i7 or i9. Always snap a photo of the numbers on CPU box before throwing away- FPO as "Batch#" and the ATPO as "S/N" on the box of your CPU for RMA purposes.

My gaming days are largely over but my current i5-6600k seems to struggle with running a homelab
Which GPU would you recommend for something like this? I miss the days of intel integrated graphics ;-)
At 6 months, you aren't likely to miss an opportunity to find another combination of RAM+CPU+moherboard at this price point (even if perhaps you might have to compromise with slightly lower specifications).
If you were one month out and specifically shopping for Intel components I might suggest you should consider grabbing the deal while available. But at six months, and unless you really were considering the components (motherboard/CPU) in this deal, I think you should let yourself relax.
Good luck!

P.S. - About the only one to watch this year are storage prices, but that's after the recent cratering. 2024 is only expected to see SSD prices go up after hitting record lows (during which plenty of slickdealers like myself finally made those delayed upgrades).
It depends on your area, I'm in Northern Virginia and any good deals below $300 are likely to sell out, Rockville, MD is also sold out. There's Prime Day in mid-July, you could just give him his bday gift now 🤣. That'd be dope as a kid tbh.
