Like that fellow earlier, I ran a i7 920 from 2009 to end of 2021. Originally paired it with a GTX 275 then up graded to GTX 670. The GPUs were around $200. My new build is a i7 12700K paired with a RTX 3070 TI Founders for $600.
With how little performance gains we get from newer hardware these days, its okay to splurge on a powerful unit and use it for 5-10 years.

Technically, I could have outfitted a PCI-E card to it with m.2 slots that would have given it m.2 PCIE 3.0 support for ~3500mbps.
Gaming was why I jumped to an AM4. X58 CPUs do not support AVX and other certain features that was preventing me from playing a small number of games. Also, the low IPC was affecting gaming. I had overclocked the W3690 as high I could on air which was around 4.2ghz all cores.
I clicked this thread because I'm considering selling the 3900x for a 5900x or 5950x. I realize this isn't necessary and I'm just bored though.
do you mean best bang for your buck or best performance?
Is this how you buy other depreciable assets? It's like buying a Tesla and doing local errands and not even using its acceleration.
You could support your needs today, and put that money to work elsewhere -- investment, food, travel, family -- instead of wasting away with depreciation. And then later, you could spend that savings on a newer CPU that will improve your performance in the lower thread/core use cases instead of being limited by this (in future). Yeah, it will have multi core abilities.. that you won't use.
I ran a i7 930 for most of a decade simply due to the lack of need to upgrade. GPU tech is a slightly different story, but is easily swapped.

I have 64gb ddr4 3200. Does anyone know if it will work in a z690 motherboard?

For example I am looking at getting a new computer before this one dies (I may have fried/shorted half the motherboard or psu one night). I've been waiting for a 12-xxxk to come on sale or in stock. The cost of ddr5 ram and gpus right now are wallet killers.
As I understand it Intel just started its new socket? size that will go forward the next x# of generations. While AMD is toward the end of their socket size life span and will be changing. I have no idea if that is true someone please correct me if so.
I guess my pondering is, is it worth it to get a minimum spec newer gen than maxed out older gen for just a little more $. AMD with their announcements and price drops have me questioning more now.
