Is it worth sacrificing an SSD , 16 gb ram and r5 1600 to buy a i7 8700  and 8 gb ram with z370 instead then?

anyways, is 212 evo enough for the 8700?

 

It should be enough for stock and maybe a 100-200 MHz overclock, but don't expect to get 5.0 GHz or higher unless you win the silicon lottery and don't have to use much voltage.

Current Build:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X3D

GPU: RTX 3080 Ti FE

RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z CL16 3200 MHz

Mobo: Asus Tuf X570 Plus Wifi

CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X53

PSU: EVGA G6 Supernova 850

Case: NZXT S340 Elite

 

Current Laptop:

Model: Asus ROG Zephyrus G14

CPU: Ryzen 9 5900HS

GPU: RTX 3060

RAM: 16GB @3200 MHz

 

Old PC:

CPU: Intel i7 8700K @4.9 GHz/1.315v

RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z CL16 3200 MHz

Mobo: Asus Prime Z370-A

First of all u cantoc a 8700, second of all....what is your pc purpose. It might be worth it for reasons but it seems to me like a bad trade. If im not wrong the basic 8700 non (k) version comes with a heatsink and stock intel cooler (boxed)
