Hopefully you can manage to save around $40 on a really nice build with a budget of at least $1500-2000 to achieve a noticeably slower part feels off. Especially considering an x570 Taichi was a solid choice, that board isn't inexpensive. Great motherboards are often available for about $40 less and the entire setup would be more balanced and faster. If prices aren't close, I'd fully agree—prioritize whatever fits your budget. I believe spending the extra $40 now makes perfect sense because it will likely last longer than a 5600x or even the 10700k. If the budget can't handle a 10700f, it's essentially a better deal for a 10700k. I really hope the motherboard cost isn't higher than the CPU and that RAM and power supply aren't too pricey. My first build had costly RAM, PSU, and motherboard. I could have swapped everything for a better one without exceeding my budget, but I really wish I had chosen the other CPU instead.
Apologies for the delay, but the z590 Vision G and B550 Taichi match in price after applying the micro center rebate. Based on what I’ve discovered, using the 10850k model stays well within the $2000 budget (including monitor and keyboard if matched). I hope he chooses the 10850k option.
I've heard positive feedback about the Gigabyte Z590 UD, especially its thermal performance even with a 11900k processor. With only two M.2 slots, one of which might be removed with a newer chip, it's hard to decide. I'm leaning toward the 11700K, 10850k, or either 5800x or 5900x. I wouldn't feel comfortable returning to a 6-core configuration, even if it's adequate.
Yes, those specs would likely be too much for a flight sim or VR rig.
