Oh man you had my hopes up on that i5. But man the i5 13600k is a beast of a cpu. Sub 200$ for that would be great. Maybe by end of year MC would get a deal on it. And the 12600k would be 130$

What's the deal with the i7-12700 (not K or KF)? Not listed on Amazon, Newegg or Microcenter. Was it not sold retail? Wound up getting the "K" version even though I don't want to overclock.

I was just helping a friend today put together a system. We went with ryzen 5 5600 and an ASUS tuf gaming 2 plus WiFi motherboard as the platform. Paired with an rtx 2070. It was right within budget. The 12th gen would have put it 60-100$ over budget.

Extra $60-$100 for an i9-12900KS instead of Ryzen 5 5600 sounds like a pretty solid deal to me, considering the cpu benchmarks are 20%+ better on the 12900KS.

But I'm not sure you meant to lump every Intel 12th Gen chip together considering you only put a $40 price range on the whole category.

Huh. When someone has a budget of 1000$ for EVERYTHING. The ryzen was the winner. An i5 12600k was gonna put it 60-100$ more. An i9 was gonna put it 300-400$ above budget lol

But there's also some deals on Intel 11th gen that was considered but ultimately it came down to motherboard and features and pairing a cpu with an rtx 2070 that was gonna make sense.

I'm not trying to say anything negative against this post. I'm just saying if someone had a strict budget even the 12600k wasn't gonna be enough of a deal at 200$

The 12900KS is literally 3x the money of the 5600. $411 vs $135. Nothing beats the 5600 on $/performance. The only deal that's worth here is the 12700KF. But then you can find 13600KF for $260.

I don't think there exists a "gaming cpu" as far as marketing goes but these CPUs paired with a good GPU will play games really well. Simple as that. Just comes down to what your willing to spend and getting something complimentary. You wouldn't pair an RTX 4090 with an Intel i3 for example.
