Which CPU with a 3080 ti

[los]

I'm looking to upgrade (old parts for my daughters PC), I've just purchased a 3080ti, I game at 1440 144hz. I figured now is a good time to go DDR5
I'm swaying towards a 13600k with Z790 or Z690? I believe the AMD equivalent is 7600x? How does that compare?
Obviously cheaper is better, but I'd pay a bit more if it's better?

That's great, thanks very much! I'll wait until mid Jan then and see what they are like! Shame there's no new year sale stuff to tempt me!

Yeah that makes sense, but I just figured if I'm going to upgrade everything, I may as well go for the latest up to date stuff with DDR5

Personally I would leave DDR5 to those that want to get the very best CPU benchmark scores with top of the line CPUs.
I did look into it, but settled with re-using the 64GB DDR4 3600MHz that I had from the previous system with an i7-13700K: the objective was to get a "balanced" system within budget.

FYI: the 13th gen non-K CPUs are out now, as is B760, but haven't seen any reviews yet. The 13500 looks interesting, it has the same number of P & E cores as the 13600K, but is a lot cheaper.

Yeah I saw that thanks, decisions hey!

If you want to keep the CPU a long time then I'd go 13600k if you plan to upgrade the CPU in a few years go 7600x.

Ok cheers
