Guys, lets get back on track here. If you want to "discuss" the dIvErSe versions of Windows, do it in the appropriate thread. Thanks.

Ok, guys. Throw me some recommendations, cause at this point I don't know anymore.
Recently I got my hands on a "cheap" (or more like "less expensive") RTX 3070 (a brand new one, not from a crypto miner) and... now I have a problem with completing the whole rest of a PC. The CPU in particular.
Until recently I had just three candidates. An i5-10600K or i5-11600K - not a huge difference in price, but 11th gen is obviously faster. And then there's the Ryzen 5 5600X, which about a year ago would've been the obvious choice.
But now there's the i5-12600K, which is the fastest of the bunch. BUT the mobos with Socket 1700 are almost twice as expensive as for 1200/AM4 and I just don't feel like paying that much.
Plus - someone suggested a Ryzen 7 5800X, which in itself costs more, but the mobos are cheaper, so in total would cost similarly to the 12600K, but it's faster.
BUT - do I need that much of a CPU for an RTX 3070 and 1440p? I know it would leave more of a margin for the future, in case I go crazy or the prices fall drastically (or both) and I get something like a 3080Ti (or just switch to the 40 series ).
Honestly, just get the 5600X if you don't need the additional cores for work or the 5800X to be safe. And get the cheapest mobo you can that still functions well enough and has the features you need. OCing those CPUs is pretty much pointless. The difference at 1440p will be no more than 10% and for what price?
I'd probably get a second hand CPU and mobo even.
At least, thats what I would if I had to buy something right away and was looking for price/performance. If you don't care about money, obviously get the fastest CPU.

@couleur Is spot on.
I debated over 5600 and 5800 before I got one. I got 5600x and no issues at all.
I got 5600x and 6800xt running at 3440x1440 120hz and gaming is fine, GPU caps out way before CPU in gaming, even in VR on reverb g2 CPU doesn't break a sweat.
Only place I can really say I get even a slight feeling of pondering what a 5800 would do is for work, running 4-5 VM workstation instances for our software as a testbed, but even then its perfectly fine no slowdowns or VM lag, but just pure processing power for our software. And only because I know it COULD process/rip pages/render previews faster since I have dual CPU 32 core xeon client servers to compare it to.

In that case I wouldn't have settled for a 3070, would I?
So you're confirming what I've been thinking - I guess I'll go back to Team Red.
I don't do much video editing or VM-heavy workloads and code compiling and deployment I usually do on a work machine anyway. So Ryzen 5600x is it.
Just the prices of some mobos are ridiculous. I wish more stores had a "no RGB and such" filtering option...

Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Pro a good mobo for 12900k you guys think? Not gonna buy something super expensive crap that has nothing worthwhile over cheaper ones. This feels like a middle way
If you want to pay double the amount of a mobo+ddr4 kit then go for ddr5, i would probably just wait a few months, or if you got the money, just go for it, YOLO.
But the little here and there doesn't really happen with DDR5. The memory wins some and loses some. I doubt that will change with bios updates. This first iteration is extremely underwhelming.
