Yes, but you'll have to spend many $100s of dollars to even use one of the new Alderlakes… On top of buying the chip. New mobo, new ddr5 ram… It'll be almost a $1k to get even the i5 working with components that you already have.

Plus your energy bill will go up and you'll need a room a/c to be able to survive while playing anything…

APUs? Naw. Maybe CPU-only. That's for those of you that care way too much about brand battles to debate.
If I am correct, 5800x is only 300on mc

What's the furthest away from Micro Center someone has gotten Best Buy to price match? Closest one to me is over 100+ miles.

Most people try to chat 2-3 times. If you're in the same state as the store, I'd call at the same time as chatting. The guy I spoke to didn't even know how to find the product on the webpage, let alone that there was an option to select store. That doesn't mean you'll get it though, and be ready for it to take 30 minutes if they don't know what they are doing.

An example why healthy competition is so important to consumers. 5600g is a solid value at this price providing decent video

Do I want to spend the extra $80 for the 5700G. No gaming, occasional photo and video editing, occasional CAD work

Yes but very few alder lake mobo's support ddr4. So far ddr4 is relegated to the "economy" chipsets.

Nope. Performance is near identical except for cases where you can actually use all of the cores.

In my case I want to build a VM server so the extra 2 cores will actually be useful.

I'm still tempted to just go with the 5600g as the price is hard to pass up...
