I was planning on a full upgrade this year since my current hardware was old even by 2017 standards, but due to the huge GPU shortage I'm forced to keep my 960 for the time being
But i'm torn between cpus, and the reviews and benchmarks i find are all over the place. Some say AMD beats Intel by a huge margin, some say Intel still reigns on the gaming department. Basically I want a good future proof cpu, something that I can play with for at least 5 years without worrying too much about upgrading. Ram, mobo, storage and case are less important.
My options are either the 10700K, 10900K on the Intel side, and the 5600X and 5800X on the AMD side.
