Ah, the whole 'future-proofing' argument. We've all been there. You're still there. I've learned hard that the idea is pointless.

IMO buy what's the best value NOW that will provide you what you need for the next 2-3 years because come that time who knows what things will look like. Also, never ever ever ever trust promises and rumors about support and features that are not available at the time of purchase. Sure, AM5 will probably still be around and kicking in a few years when it's time for a CPU upgrade, but you'll probably want to at least upgrade RAM and probably even the motherboard, negating things.

If I were in the market for a system right now I'd get one of these 12th gen i7+motherboard combo deals floating around for great prices, pairing with 64GB of 3600 DDR4 RAM and calling it a day. Then in ~3 years undervolting that system to use as a server or media PC and then seeing what's available. Of course, things depend on the scenario and workload the unit will be supporting, but for an average enthusiast, chasing futureproofing is a wastefully expensive and foolish thing.

This is only $30 more than the i5-12600K right now. Sounds pretty tasty.

When I first time decided to test Win11, I've installed OS on my "retro" Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz with 1GB DDR2 RAM. So for a most users with Internet and 10 minutes of time, you could install win11 easily on almost all PCs produced for the last 15 years.

Quote from worthmining :
Very nice price, but I've already got a i7-13700K not sure what the advantage it has over the 12700K except it should be faster, lol. Really eying on the price drop of 13900K if it falls under $500 again.

For a long time I was not paying attention to cpu upgrade and PC build as there is little performance gain in Win10 and everything, last time I built a 10th intel 10850k and found not a huge benefit in everything. But the 13th intel changed min mind, there is a huge gap and performance jump, especially you have a use case needs the fastest single core on the market. This is why the gamers are overwhelmed to 13600K now, its such as good deal.

Unless you have requirements which aren't well met by off the shelf machines, such as a silent machine for audio recording with multiple m.2 NVME slots, more than two memory slots, etc (though such a machine might be better served by the standard 12th or 13th gen CPUwith integrated graphics).

You can use 20 year old hardware for win 11 but that doesn't mean you'll have a usable experience with it.

That is too much of a generalization. You can save money building by focusing on the features you need and leaving out the ones you don't. More importantly you're getting better overall quality and performance. You have more upgrade potential and customization options should you be into that. My older build for example has a PSU (power supply unit) with a 10 year warranty and you can visually see the better quality compared to a mass produced PSU.
I'm not knocking Dell but good luck if you can even get close to 10 years with their PSU units.

These days, not so many people are still stick with sIntel but AMD. AMD is more future proof with AM4 or AM5 motherboard that usually last for 4 or 5 years, and it is more energy efficient and good with their own GPU.

I would stay away from Intel.

Interestingly this is the cheapest I ever remember an i-7k selling. The first one I ever built was in 2013 or 2014, 4790K and that was $249 on a frys sale. I think a few years ago if you would have told people a 1-year-old i7 k chip would sell for $220 and it's now the value CPU, no one would have believed you
