A 12900k build like this would easily last you 6+ years. It makes little sense to wait if you are doing video editing and streaming now. Sure in 7 months there will be better deals, but that's always how the industry works. It doesnt make sense to try and save $50 or get a bit more performance if it means a slower workload for months.

I have an i7-7700, 8x2gb RAM and a gigabyte board i bought 7 years ago to build my first pc. I do very light gaming, but I have now started streaming and making videos through Davinci Resolve. Im guessing this would be very helpful with the amount of cores, but im wondering if it's worth waiting for something better during a holiday, assuming the likelyhood of any better deals on a 13/14th gen. I am looking to refresh my build or even just make a new pc, so I'm not in a rush, but my current setup is strained when video editing, so id like to jump on a deal that makes sense.

In genera: all 1*900 bundles or i9 runs hotter than any of the previous model i3/i5.
13700k vs 14700k they both are great! and the dif is just a gain of 3-5% in speed. If you want the best for your money you can go for the 13700k but honestly for now, if you have the 12900, stay there, get a better AIO Cooler and wait for the upcoming generation. save some money because it will change CPU socket and Motherboard as well.
Yeah, so I'm keeping the 12900 system running on a driving simulator. This is for a completely new build in a different room, and will be used for gaming, CAD, and Blender.

I've been running a 3770 since release. I only now decided to upgrade and this bundle had been phenomenal for my needs. Just a casual gamer. No streaming or recording. The only extra item I purchased was a thermalright contact frame due to the potential for cpu bending issues.

Yes, but also because the deal you referenced doesn't come with RAM

Yep, I made it clear that this combo deal from Microcenter is much better than the Ryzen 5950x + B550 deal from eBay, lol…I've included benchmarks from i9 12900k and Ryzen 5950x users.

It certainly is. This is a great deal. If one wishes to squeeze all the performance out of a 12900k, it's going to use a lot of power, and create a lot of heat. If those things aren't concerning, it's a great chip.

If I understand correctly. The board doesn't come with Wi-Fi. You must buy the adapter separately.
It does. Onboard WiFi.

I've been wanting to build a rig for race car games for my kids. I don't know what the good games are but since you guys are going to ask say Assetto Corsa and Forza.

Would this be a bad, good, or great combo for PC Racing games?

Wish I could swap out the cpu for something newer and lower count (better efficiency) and swap the RAM out for 64gb.

Anyone have an opinion on what the best bang for your buck bundle is of the current microcenter options?

Depends on what you want to use it for. Most folks don't need this much power

Is the 14700 bundle worth looking at for $150 more?
(Same question for 13700 at $100 more)

I already have a 12900 system in a driving simulator and it runs HOT! I'm building a system for another room for games and 3-d modeling and I'm tempted to spend the extra money for a 14700 bundle.
Does the 14700 run less hot?
I got this deal last time and just about to build the computer.

Might make another for 3D.

Well, I got the 12600kf bundle to upgrade my server, now need a couch gaming setup. Was thinking of getting this bundle, putting the 12900k in the server and then using the 12600kf with this mobo/ram for the new gaming rig. So in summary trying to decide if the extra $150 is worth it to upgrade the server and get an extra 16gb of ram for the gaming rig.
