We don't or can know, wait and check.

I don't think there's been any official word on Intel desktop CPUs before Alder Lake, expected end of 2021. Before that Rocket Lake is rumoured. If it happens, it'll have to happen by early next year at latest otherwise the gap between generations will be tight.

Really?

 

Come on, I know preplanning is a thing but at least wait until 2021.

There should probably be a stickied forum post that we, or a bot, can link to when questions are brought up about tech that none of us would have info on yet

Yeah me too.

But instead of drip buying pieces because if you get a broken one and you open it on march your warrenty or returns period is over and few companies will exchange it.

Have you considered giving money to someone to hold? Me I give it to my wife, I give her say £300 a month and say don't give it back until I have £1500 and can buy all the parts at once.

you could just go ahead and build what you want and swap in the 11700k or whatever when it comes out

i dont have anyone to give it to. and i even went to the bank to get a restricted savings account that made me go to a branch and take out money so i couldnt use online for that account and i still spent the money on junk

so is buying parts before you need them, or buying a 10700k over a 10600k, or half the pc parts we buy lol. might as well do stuff with it while ya wait

They're both going to be about the same price, so save a rough amount of that.

 

You now the price of them in a ballpark way.

Kinda sounds like the issue has more to do with personal finance management than picking which Intel processor would be best for you.  If you've got someone you trust you could have them hold the money until a set date.  You could put a picture of that high-end computer you want inside of your wallet, or set it as your phone's wallpaper, so that every time you access your money by wallet or by phone you're reminded that you have a money goal staring right back at you.  These aren't cures by any means, but the goal is that each time you find yourself being tempted to buy something you don't need there's an extra reminder that catches you, helps you recognize a momentary loss of self-control, and helps guide you toward what you know would be a wiser purchasing decision.
