As one use says you can use Z690. But yes absolutely. Gen 13 destroys 12 in every way....
But is it worth it if I am doing a new build?
Should I just get the discounted 12th gen MB combo for now and upgrade next year when meteor lake comes out ,this is the last year for this socket and meteor lake is supposed to be a huge difference .
Or go with Ryzen , this is for building from ground up around a EVGA 3080ti
Or should I just get 12th gen and sell the whole rig next year and buy meteor lake with a 40 series
Seems like a waste to buy raptor lake at full price now when next year is the really big change

If you had told me a year ago that this Holiday season would be the best time to be shopping for new DIY computer parts, I would have called you NUTS!

Still going to keep my $300 i5-13600k over this i7. $55 ain't worth the small performance increase for me, but thanks OP!

Depends if you need a new PC now. If you're still happy, wait the year and you will have more choices then: Buy 13th gen at a discount, or embrace the new 14th gen and higher price point as an early adopter.

But that $350 combo deal is dead. Looks like $580 now.
The $350 combo deal is a black friday deal that will run from 11/7 - 11/27.

So keep an eye out on re-stocks at your store if it happens.

Still rocking 4790k and 1080ti but about to cave and upgrade. Seems like no brainer to pick intel over AMD this gen but I almost want to get AMD to be able to upgrade the processor that has the same socket in the next five years ( if they decide to even support AM5 as long as am4) Has there been any further details from AMD on this? Last time I checked their answer on extended socket support was just "maybe". Just gonna be hard to shell out a premium on an AMD board, ddr5 and a worse value processor.
I still have a 4790k also.... LoL
My best CPU ever!!!!
With a Vega 64... anything I use it for it still kills it.
Never even overclocked it, did you?
Might build next year if pc parts get dirt cheap...why not right?

Here's the thing , whether it's AM4,am5 or 13th gen Intel, get a upper mid tier or higher cpu and you won't need to buy a new one for a long time. I am still rocking an i7-3770k after 8 years...... I'm paid a little more on initial investment saved me a lot of money over time , it's worth it. I am a casual gamer I can still run the latest games on my computer no problem

Agreed my ten yr old PC just died and it was i7 2600k. The only things I upgraded were adding a ssd and better graphics along the way.

it was playing trakov n all the other games just fine. I did notice a difference with video editing when I get laptop with 11 gen intel in it and 2060

Thanks bora, I'm just sick of buy tech year after year, plus these days the budget items just aren't built to last very long. In a way, going budget cost even more in a long run , sad but true

Have a Rocket Lake i5-11400 here. I like value for money and tho its tempting to upgrade again I too like to think like to think CPU power for the average user and gamer has long gone ahead of anything but the most rigorous demands. Someone convince me otherwise though if Im wrong.

keep it, put the money towards a better GPU...
CPU upgrade won't make any difference at this point.

Last year I updated an i5 to this i7 and wow what a difference. I couldn't believe it. I was lucky to find the chip at a low price.
