Unless he's been living under a rock, I think he'll understand.

10700K is a little over USD 400.

Can a 7700K be worth over USD 150?

Yup, you can get the 10700k + same mobo for 657

If you don't have one already, Amazon has one for sale here, $390

1. Possibly look into a better cpu such as a intel core i7-10700k

Uhh pretty sure those are out already too

So, uh, LGA1200 socket this i7-10700k looks like it's compatible. https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-10700K-Processor-Unlocked-BX8070110700K/dp/B086ML4XSB/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=i7-10700K&linkCode=ll2&qid=1600227625&sr=8-1&tag=girgammal-20

Or go with the Hero XI for the LGA 1151 with 300 chipset for the i9-9900k. Hmm...

Might just get the Ryzen 3700x with an AM4 Board. Seems to be several hundred dollars cheaper and easier to get. Concerned about BIOS issues though.

Amazon has it for $377.

The i7-10700k is $443 lol wut https://www.amazon.com/Intel-i7-10700K-Desktop-Processor-Unlocked/dp/B086ML4XSB/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=i7-10700k&qid=1590007903&s=pc&sr=1-2

I just canceled my UK order and bought the US one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086ML4XSB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 my card was charged 10 minutes later.

MSI Z97 Gaming 5, i7 4790k @ 4.0GHz, Corsair Vengeance DDR3, (4x 4GB) dual-channel, all purchased in Oct 2016. MSI RTX 2070 from July 2019 and the system drive is a 1TB 970 Evo+ M.2 NVMe from March 2020. Your assumptions were a bit off, but I won't downvote you for it.

I consider a glitchless play-through of HL Alyx to be a pretty solid credential for a system's "new enough-ness" to run a Rift-S, which after a USB 3.1 upgrade, my system handled just fine. About a month transpired since I finished HL Alyx, with no hardware/configuration changes, and now my Rift-S is essentially useless.

The headset's USB is plugged directly (no extension or hub) into a Startech USB 3.1 PCIe card, whose mystery is only exceeded by its power, provided by a rather skookum Seasonic 1kW angry pixie box SATA connector.

Not that I'm throwing cash at this Rift problem, but Half Life releases have traditionally motivated my upgrades, and I suppose the core of my system is due for an upgrade as you so eloquently pointed out. My cart of new components:

MSI Z490 Ace, i7 10700K, & Corsair 2x16GB C16

Just checked the prices of intel 10700k on amazon

|India|link|Rs 34,490| |:-|:-|:-| |Japan|link|Jap Yuan 46000 = Rs 32729.06| |UK|link|369 pounds = Rs 35444.17| |Germany|link|384 Eu = Rs 33,388 | |US|link|377 USD = Rs 28067.40|

The parts alone are roughly $1000 - $1100 including a power supply, and with some flare and a nice case added on it's probably more like $1200 - $1300.

You could save hundreds by building it yourself. Those parts do not total over $1,528.

Let's assume case, cooling and cosmetics total about $250 (which is generous)

This build totals just under $1300. And Amazon is considered overpriced in many cases for PC parts, too, so if you hunted around you could get this stuff cheaper.

Not a crazy high "pre-built tax", but $250 is $250.

A 10th gen Intel CPU needs to be on a 400 series chipset like B460 or Z490. Get the latter if you plan on getting a K processor (you most likely are if you willing to spend 400 dollars on a CPU).

Here's some of the CPUs that I could find:

As for a motherboard, I would recommend any Z490 motherboard from a reputable brand.

I personally have a Asus ROG strix Z490F motherboard for my i7 10700k and it works flawlessly
