Someone just insisted to me that the 5800x3d "destroys intel's best". lol. Even current gen ryzen barely beats it. And also they are usually talking about only gaming even then.

You can point them to youtube reviews from gamers nexus, linus techtips ect... and they will prove him wrong. Its not that the 5800x3d is an outstanding gaming cpu but yeah thats about it. New Ryzen 7000x3d next year will probably crown for gaming but they come at a price...

I am in the hugest mess myself. I started buying parts literally years ago without yet building. So i keep selling off parts for losses when something new is out.
First i bought a 3700x. Then I sold that and got a 5900x. Then i sold that, ddr4 RAM, and mobo and bought a 12700k and ddr5 RAM and intel mobo.
So now I am deciding if I should do it yet again. lol. Either for 13700k or 7700x. If 13700k, i would have to sell my mobo again too because it's the asus itx one that doesn't have bios flashback so I'd not be able to use it with 13700k.
Most likely I should just keep what I have But I hate the idea of building without the latest tech.
I also kept buying gpus, changing mind, getting diff ones. Now I have a 12g 3080 and am wishing I had just gotten a 3070 for less noise and heat.

I originally was buying parts thinking my pc was broken, but it keeps holding out so I just keep putting off building. And ironically I don't even pc game... I just figured I would on a new build sand also use some resource intensive programs as well.

Just picked up i5-13600K, Paid 247.9 + tax. I used a 25 off coupon they are running for all AMD or intel processors. Used the below coupon, but there are others out there on the internet, just do a google search.
That i9 seems like a good sale, but still to rich for my budget. I'm looking at the i7 and hoping we'll see something better on Black Friday. Like $379 maybe?

Well that's a strategy I have not heard of before.

Any suggestions on Z690 boards to go with? Historically I've used gigabyte Aorus boards with good results but I've heard their Z690 boards have been awful (even recalling V1). Looking to spend around $200-250 I guess. Maybe less. Don't need WiFi and all the lights. Just solid performance and probably DDR4 for now.

How old or what model is your original PC?
very old. lol. it's probably almost 10 years old, which I know will make people think I am even crazier going all out on a new build, but anyway. It doesn't even have a dedicated gpu.

For those who don't have a Micro Center nearby, Best Buy price matched the i7-13700K for me yesterday ($399), was quick via their online chat. It already shipped today for delivery to me tomorrow.

$25 OFF All AMD and Intel Processors | New Customer Exclusive | Micro Center [microcenter.com]
EDIT: The 11.02 BIOS update for that board shows 13th gen support, but their CPU list hasn't been updated. So it should work.
