Replacing 4670k Recommendation

Budget (including currency):500 Roughly for CPU/MOBO

Country: CANADA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming (Valorant,New world,etc)

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

Hi all, 

I think its about time to replace the 4670k in my computer as it's quite aged and the motherboard is continuing to fail. ( high temp 110+ on most sensors now, random blue screens relating to hardware)

I will still keep my MSI Gtx 970 as the cards are impossible to find right now and it still does the job. 

 

Before i was thinking of getting the 12600KF as it just came out and the price point was good but is out of stock everywhere, been keeping an eye out for used cpu/mobo but nothing is popping up in my area. 

Also have a 200 amazon US credit and was thinking of buying/shipping the DDR4 ram from them. 

 

Thanks everyone for your feedback!

I doubt 12th gen with their Z690 motherboards fit your budget. Maybe consider them after B660 boards come out. DDR4 is still the prefered memory for gaming including 12th gen.

 

5600X + cheap B550 board would be the best you can get in the budget today, alternative will be the 3600 or 10400F. 10400F is the least recommended here because the CPU upgrades on this platform are outshadowed by 12th gen and will be deemed one of the worst decisions possible after B660 become available.

Or wait a few weeks. 1 Black Friday 2 see what AMD does with prices.
