10900K upgrade?

[Neil79]

I have a 10900K OC to 5.3ghz and a 4080 super and it flies through everything, however...

At my family home which I visit a lot in the summer, the system is only a i7-4790K. So I'm considering putting my system I have in that one, and upgrading my main one at home.... So what CPU do you recommend this year or shall I wait for any upcoming Intels?

Cheers

The cheapest CPU I'd get is a 12600K/KF (the KF is looking good in the Easter sales) or a Ryzen 7500F.

Ideally, I'd look at a 14700K or 7800X3D.

Cheers dude

what do you use the system for ?

Editorial and Gaming, I tend to be more gaming on the main pc though

Bit of an old bump, but I'm getting that upgrade itch again and wanted to wait until now, 10900k

So anyone willing to give me a decent idea for..

CPU,COOLER,MBOARD and RAM?

Around £800ish or less !

Cheers!

Isn't your Noctua compatible with AM5 or 1700?

Not sure!

Thanks for the great reply, very informative

I will probably go 9800X3D if they turn out to be decent or MAYBE Intel Arrowlake when it comes out, to ensure I have some future platform lifespan, but I'm wary of Intel now as anything after 12th gen have some serious latent issues right now, which Intel have been sandbagging for a while, and it's hit confidence for sure.

Brilliant thank you!

I was going to order today, but I'm not in most of Sunday so will have to wait till next week. Not sure how long these deals will last
