TLDR:
go AM4 if you want to upgrade cheap (CPU prices have never been cheaper)
go Intel 13XXX if you want something faster than AM5 in productivity and 1080p gaming.
go AM5 if you want flexibility to upgrade to a 2024 or 2025 processor.

After tax, delta is about $213 between the 12th gen and 13th gen setups. Also i could instead sell the asus mobo for $150ish and use the msi board, making the 12th gen combo $413 after tax, or $183 delta between them for a better mobo.

The danger to going with this deal is AMD comes out with the X3D chip(s) during CES and obliterates all competition again just like the 5800X3D did when it released. The problem with that is the AM5 motherboards are expensive right now. I'm on a 7700K box and I'm also contemplating on just picking up a cheap AM4 mobo and cpu but would be dead end (but still cheap). I would personally rather do that than pick up a 13900K which is also a dead platform. Those benchmarks beat AMD only when you go with DDR5 ram so if you're going to fork over that much money, you might as well do it on an AM5 motherboard so you can upgrade to a 8000 or 9000 series Ryzen in a few years with the same motherboard.

Memory controller capped at 6000 (1d2r), will bios update bump it?
