Which CPU for a NEW Build now?

[Deleted member 251651]

Hey people..

I need some help, I've been wanting to build a pc for ages now...and was waiting for AMD to release the new 5900x 3D CPU this month.... that isn't happening.......

So.............

What would you build an enitre new system on, my thoughts went from 5900k to 5900k 3D to now the 12700k DDR5 and Asus Rog Maximus Z690 Hero?

I will be building in the Dark Base 700 PC Case and using air cooling only......Dark rock pro 4? and some Be Quiet silent wings 3 or Phankteks T30's or maybe some Corsair QL120?

Opinions/advise please.................

The PC will be used for workstation/productivity work mainly.....I understand that DDR5 may not have much performance gain at the moment, but was thinking if i went for 12700k build I could upgrade just the ram in 3 years or so when better ddr5 comes out and prices go down...My concern is the effiency/power/tdp of alderlake.....especially building it in the be quiet 700 with air cooling only.... would 3 intake and 2 exhaust fans be sufficient for this case with 12700k and a dark rock pro 4? I REALLY WISH THEY HAD JUST COME OUT WITH ZEN 4 AT CES!
