Consider games that leverage multiple cores or threads, such as streaming while playing. Investing in an i7 and i9 can be ideal if you have the budget.

Ordered a Z490 Master, Intel i7-10700K, NXT X73 and NXT 710i case. Expect delivery tomorrow, hoping everything comes together smoothly. Decided between MSI Unify and Gigabyte Master; chose the master since Unify didn’t support IGPU and I couldn’t secure the 10700K. Prefer the master’s design over the i5-8400. Really looking forward to it! Thanks for your support!

Absolutely. The i7 seems like a solid compromise. It might offer better long-term adaptability compared to the i5.

No, that's not correct. You can spend your own money if you want.

It's not accurate to claim an i7 would last longer than an i5 with two extra cores. The performance gap depends on various factors like workload and usage patterns.

Do you want to risk your investment? Yes, I do—next-gen chips from AMD and Intel in 2022 could render i5 and i7 outdated.

What kind of question is that? Any higher end part in theory you could get a slightly longer life span out of. Plus it's all about when the individual decides it's time to upgrade. I can't think of any point in CPUS or GPUS in the past decade where less than 2 years made high end hardware useless or even a must upgrade. You don't need to put your morals on other's and tell them they are wasting money on a valid purchase.
