Still I agree a 5700X3D I'd rather have than a 12400F but I'd rather have a 7600 based system over both of those.... I actually have one so that makes sense I guess lol....
Interesting, are we still talking about something that gets turned on just for gaming. Or encompassing the entire world of things X3D compromised abilities in.
My $.02 if you need a DDR4 Ryzen platform fast without breaking the bank too much while not giving up on quality of life features go for the 5700X3D with a ROG Strix B550-E or -XE. Despite B550 chipset, they are premium motherboards.
12900KS would probably be my target if I was justifying a higher end build. More than most I suspect you (forgive me if this doesn't translate well) put all your eggs into one basket. Desires to have something unique and a bit special are at the root of my indecision. In the absence of something personally fulfilling to interact with it gets increasingly harder to avoid noticing the large downsides.
Piece by piece every component going through a transformation into boutique product cycles that offer little over a solid plain and functional design.
I've no interests supporting this business practice. Though I would like to eventually replace some hardware that is holding back reasonable uses.
Fun rarely if ever equates with unaffordable to all but a few in my view.
