The B560 chipset isn't listed as compatible with the 11700K on Intel's site, which might indicate an error. Core i7 models generally perform better with the Z590, so you may want to opt for an i5 instead.

Currently, the chipset doesn't significantly affect performance, aside from genuine overclocking—which isn't beneficial on the 11th generation.

Skip the CPU upgrade talk. You won’t need to push your B560 further. Overclocking isn’t worth it anymore. Focus on boosting your graphics card instead—it’ll give you a clear performance increase. You might want to consider a 10th gen i7, as they’re often affordable and sometimes even cheaper than the B560X. The 11th gen isn’t a good move because the 5800X is only slightly more expensive than an 11700, and you can find a better board with a cooler Ryzen setup.

I was thinking of getting the non K i7 since I didn’t expect to overclock it, but the faster model costs about $20 more. When comparing, the prices for 10700k seem too high right now, and the hype around PCIe 4 is making me nervous. My GTX 1070 with an i5 7600k isn’t doing well at 1600p; upgrading the GPU alone is the cheapest way to boost gaming performance, but I don’t want to spend like a collector. So I’m determined to get the most out of my 1070 by improving its CPU and RAM.

Boost your existing CPU and GPU settings slightly, then allow the system to update to the next generation.
