Like I said if you are upgrading an old system then it's just 155+100 so 255. And most people are not near MC, so figure 290+80 cheap MB + 80 32gb ddr5 $450, 9700x isn't almost double the performance of a 12700k. I would say go for ryzen if you have the money or are building from scratch, but for a budget upgrade this is great. Hell, I might upgrade my 7700k VR-only rig with one of these as it's got 32gb of good ram.

Thanks OP, cheaper than anywhere else, except maybe Aliexpress.
Doing my very first PC build, decided to do a cheap last gen intel build. Already ordered 1700 motherboard, was gonna go with intel 12400f for $110, but for $45 more for more cores might go i7 (though bad being more power usage & heat).
Now I just need to catch an intel arc b580 in stock, though it looks like prices might go up anywhere from $50-$100 than two months ago Mad

It's not much slower than the new 15th gen that was a step backwards from the 14th though 😂 Oh and less than half the price. Great at this price if you are upgrading an old pc as you can still get DDR4 MB for this, making it only a little over $200 to get this and a cheap MB and have a huge upgrade over a 6th-11th gen.

Quote from JackZ3019 :
This is total trash option, especially for those have MC access.

$155+$100 MB+$50 32GB DDR4 = $305. this is the minimum you have to spend.

MC has $400 combo for 9700x, DDR-5, much better energy usage, much better performance all around.
I got a 5800xt with a B550 Tomahawk for $285 and I'm considering returning it for this. can I get a mobo as good as the Tomahawk for this at about $130?

edit: I meant the Intel. I dont have a MC nearby

So you wanna go with DDR4 option.
GIGABYTE Z790 S WiFi DDR4 is decent imo.

I just realised I'd need a cooler too. I might as well just stick with what I got. was originally just going 5600t, adding $40 for the 5800xt looked worth it, but 12700kf looks like another + $30-$50 ontop of that

This is what I paid for mine back in Dec of 2023. I did have some help though.
Order Summary
Item(s) Subtotal:$214.99
Shipping & Handling:$0.00

Estimated tax to be collected:$16.12
Gift Card Amount:-$50.00
Rewards Points:-$26.02
Grand Total:$155.09

It has been a Great processor highly recommended, system is super stable and pushes a 4070 TI Super just fine.

I scored the $211, I7-14700K so I'll be passing this to my kids later next month.

Still feels weird to see a deal on a 12th gen i7.

Love my 12700KF. It's paired with a 6900XT. For gaming this CPU will last many more years. That was a rock star of a generation of CPUs. Maybe one of the best i7's ever IMO
