Intel CPUs rarely drop in price due to new releases, unlike AMD CPUs have. Should have seen how the 6700K and 7700K held their value for years.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Intel basically never lowers their prices for new chips, and old high-end Intel chips are always overvalued in the secondary market because people are dumb. 

 

Even with that said, it doesn't make much sense to expect an immediate glut of used 12th-gen i7's and i9's when the chips people would replace them with are only announced and not actually for sale yet. Do you think people are just going to sell their current CPU and then not use their PC for the next several weeks until they can get their hands on the new CPU?

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

Why would they? Then nobody would buy their new stuff.

 

Same happens with used a i7 7700k used still costs more than a 8700k whilat beinf far worse.
