Personally: buy this then upgrade to clearance i5 13th gen a few years down the line. You won't see much of a real performance difference but you will pay hundreds less.
This all assumes gaming of course, the 12100 is a killer gaming cpu value but not great for workstation tasks.

And if you look at the 4090 reviews that came out today, even at 4k a lot of games now ended up CPU bottlenecked with a 12900k.. The 12100 has no chance if you pair it with a next gen GPU.
The other issue is the .1% lows are much lower on these entry level/old CPUs. Its hard to find 4k benchmarks to demonstrate this as CPUs are rarely tested at 4k, but here's an example at 1440p where the average FPS across CPUs looks the same, but the .1% lows paint a very different picture, and would create noticeable stutters:

The 12900k is only 4% faster than a 10700k in average FPS at 1440p, but 44% faster in .1% lows.
If someone is paying $1600+ for a flagship GPU, they really shouldnt be pairing it with a $100 CPU or old CPU, no matter how good the value, as there is still a noticeable difference at 4k. Im not saying you need to buy an i9-13900k, but people should at least be aiming at midrange CPUs to pair with a flagship GPU.

I'd wager that my hypothetical system with a $100 12100 and $1600 GPU gets higher avg 4K FPS than your $400 CPU $1300 GPU system...

This chip smokes as a mid gaming setup, Avgs 25% CPU under full load running 1440p gaming!

Huh? You can get a 5600G for 130 or 3600X for 80 if near a Microcenter. AMD absolutely does play in this space.
Was hoping to wait for the 13400F as the passmark scores are considerably better. I will be using the CPU for transcoding.
