Wondering what people’s suggestions would be should I get the current gen i7 or last gen i9?

Primarly use my pc for gaming a bit of video editing + work but when I upgrade my pc again in hopefully 5+ years I put the CPU, motherboard and memory into my home server that I use for my lab.

i9 is £460 i7 is £420

    I would probably have to ask coming from White processor to be honest… I went from 13 700 KF to 14 900 KF and got a 25% increase

    That said the 14 700 K does come with a nice improvement with the additional cores. Build experience not YouTube but that’s just my opinion By the way, Z790 aero g is literally $100 off right now and I just paid I believe 299 you can steal it right now. It’s a great board. Definitely recommend the Z790 chips it even if you don’t know what you’re doing the optimization of the ram in CPU you don’t have to know anything and it will do a decent job of maxing that thing out for you. Just don’t go cheat on your cooling system.

    Are usually LT 728, 360 mm. And use MX6 thermal paste. Along with the Anti building frame. If you haven’t heard of that, it definitely makes a difference only about 8°C difference which is huge. Anyway, sorry I talk a little . Lol.
