I have an 8700K also. It's been on LN2 and now used daily. Really robust chips I do say! But if it ain't broken don't fix it right? Waiting on ddr5 myself.

Sure, the 8700k is a strong CPU that meets my needs. It’s working well for what I require, which is why I don’t switch to the 9900k or the Godlike motherboard. I’m thinking about holding onto both the CPU and the motherboard until they become rare collectibles.

It relies on who is taking care of it in any future scenario. 20 years, 50 years... 200 years are hard to imagine. As I was saying. If I owned it, I’d be dominating the hardware. It won’t reduce its collectible value. You should use and misuse this gear. The GodLike is built for pushing performance to the limit and enjoying the thrill If I’m not wrong... it’s a premium board. No matter what, it often feels like a mistake once it’s done. Dang, I shouldn’t have sold it. Dang, I wish I’d experimented with that board and the chips...

This statement highlights how looking back clearly shows the outcome was inevitable.

I'll stick with the 9900k. Adding more cores and threads along with a quicker processor can offer some improvement in upcoming games, though upgrading to Ryzen won't make much of a difference unless you're doing CPU-heavy tasks like rendering.

I believe the window for selling it at a fair price is very limited—it might not become collectible (possibly a slim probability). If you decide to sell, do it before Black Friday. A stock Zen 3 configuration with a 5700G/5800X performs better than others, thanks to the viability of Sandy Bridge, which stayed in demand for a long time due to lack of alternatives. However, once Zen 1 arrived with eight cores, older models fell below $300 for a used PC. I don’t see the same trend with the 9th generation. If I were targeting an Intel used build from that period, I’d likely focus on 10th gen and Z590, though AMD would probably be the top option. Performance remains the main factor here.

Yeah, I'm doing rendering work and the 8700k + 1080ti slips a bit. It's not fast enough to really annoy me, but I do notice that moment when the mouse doesn't move at the same pace as my hand. Still, it gets the job done, so I don't bother swapping in the 9900k and the new motherboard. Honestly, I think the 10th gen and Z590 are likely better options if you can find them.
