4790k to a 7500 (7700t, 7700k)

[Benny144]

Speccing my new build, want to go 6th or 7th gen CPU and leaning towards the 7500 because of the price point...
Seems like a step down from my old 4790k though, thoughts?
I suppose the other option is a 7700k, but it's a price jump. I've also heard of a 7700t (in building ITX and heard a few people use this?) but I can't find much about this CPU

Thank you for all the responses, it really is appreciated!
Unfortunately the 4790k is already gone (I sold my rig minus the GPU prior to coming to Austria)
6700k I suppose is another option?
The 6/7th gen offer me the motherboard I want, as well as DDR4 RAM

I would go Ryzen if you have already ditched the Intel rig

4790k to 6700k and 7700k is a pointless upgrade.

Don't know much about the Ryzen 7, but it looks worse for a gaming rig than the 7700 but for a similar price ?
Hopefully you can educate me otherwise?

What's Ryzen like thermally compared to intel? This is going in an ITX with very small cooler (I've seen people but it 7700 in no problem)

With the motherboard thing, you mean AMD are keeping the same socket for a while? Where as intel change the socket for almost every gen.

1440p max I think (I'm actually on a ****** 1080 monitor right now, looking to upgrade later in year)
