Hi,
I am building a computer and am debating whether to take the 13600k or 13700k.
As an Intel employee, the 13600K will cost me $200 and the 13700k will cost me $270.
It is important to me that the computer will serve me for a very long time, as evidence I now have an i5-4690k and according to what I saw in a search, if I had a fourth generation i7 instead, games would run much better for me today.
The graphics card in the build is a 2080ti, but as I said, I want it to serve me for a long time, so a graphics card upgrade will be on the table in a few more years, of course with the processor's enabling dependencies.
For these reasons I lean towards the 13700k, what bothers me is its high power consumption and heat compared to the 13600.
Another consideration is that I already have a 750w power supply, so if that's enough then I don't need to buy a new one.
What do you think?
