I've been using a 2700x since launch and kept Windows 10 because it runs smoothly on it. I'm considering either a R9 7900x or an I7-13700k, focusing on getting enough performance to last until I decide to upgrade in four or five years. Anyone know if AMD still has performance problems with Windows 11?

Intel's newest processors offer better value, with top-tier models matching or surpassing Ryzen in performance. Choose Intel wisely. Ensure you use a proper cooler since Intel tends to overheat more than Ryzen. A liquid cooler works well for high-end chips like the i7 13700K.

Intel 12th gen offers strong stability and performance. Ideal for a simple, set-and-forget solution. Highly recommended.

Choose a genuine cooler if you opt for anything above 12600k. The RM1 included with the 12700 is really poor quality, and I still find it hard to accept Intel's decision. It’s likely to overheat even when running at default settings. My temperature reaches 80 degrees during games with a FPS cap and Hyperthreading disabled.

For a fast solution, simply install a 5800X3D and fit it into your current motherboard. In gaming and general desktop tasks, it behaves much like AMD’s 7000 and Intel’s 13th gen chips. To upgrade your CPU within four to five years, opt for an AM5 platform which provides support for multiple generations. The Intel LGA1700 is nearing its limit. New 7000 X3D processors are coming out this month—waiting now would mean missing out on these options.

right i would say wait for 7000x3D or go 5800x3D or intel... also going DDR5 makes more sense for "future proofing" literally.

Generally in line with others, Intel is the best choice for expanding a new setup right now. For the simplest path, consider the 5800X3D and bypass the older components—this approach aligns with what I did, and X3D matches the newest flagship offerings from both brands.

I already have various soft-line watercooling components and radiators, making it easy to cool the system. It seems the real choice is whether I stick with a reasonable case or push my old Wavemaster further. Because of unexpected expenses, I’m probably settling for a 12600kf. Eventually I’ll need to upgrade to 11, so I’d rather handle this now and finish the adjustment phase.
