But yeah, save up and upgrade to a better platform.
It's on a platform pushing a decade old (the 7th generation was to the 6th generation, what the 14th generation is to the 13th generation), and anything older than the 8th generation on Intel's side lacks official support for Windows 11, and Windows 10 loses support in a year. In my mind, that caps its value pretty low, especially when off-lease 8th+ generation whole PCs can be found more and more cheap now.
Don't be one of those suckers who succumbs to sunken cost fallacy and spends $50+ for a used and out of warranty, old, who-knows-how-much-it's-been-overclocked, quad core era Core i7 that is pretty much the "same thing plus Hyper-threading" as the Core i5 you probably already have. It's not worth it. Just ride out what you have until you can replace it with something better.
ht does not help nearly as much as another core or two
6-7th gen and older are pretty much done in a year
gj ms for turning lots of builds into tons of e-waste
You also have to keep in mind that a ryzen 5500 or a ryzen 3600 only costs around $90, which is the same price as the cheapest buy it now listing i see for the 7700k on ebay[www.ebay.com], and the cheapest one I see on craigslist spanning half of the united states is $70, with the next cheapest one being $80, and those being the only two that aren't populating a motherboard or system. You have to figure that the guy selling the one on ebay has to pay shipping, so if you have your heart set on a 7700k, you're going to have to spend the $90.
ebay is about $70[austin.craigslist.org]. Based on techspot's most recent 3600 vs 9600k testing[www.techspot.com], I expect a 3600 to outperform a 9600k by a significant margin, and a 5500 to match a 3600[www.techspot.com].
The only thing that keeps these used i7 chips afloat is the fact that people feel as if they are stuck on their motherboard platform, but this is a losing game in the long run. Sunken cost fallacy as Illusion of Progress said.
People who want to upgrade on the same motherboard platform probably shouldn't pick Intel in the first place because two C.P.Us. per socket isn't enough and if they do, they should upgrade 3 years into the lifecycle of their computer. You might stretch it a little longer if you bought a low end C.P.U. at the beginning of the socket's life cycle, and buy a higher end one near the end, but that's more-so on the manufacturer's timing than yours. Otherwise these processors start to hit their pricing floor and stop being worthwhile.
The very much better way to approach your upgrade path is to set yourself a maximum budget and aim to maximize your price to perf. uplift within the span of that budget. We'd need to know what parts you have and what budget you have to advise on that though.
I have had no problems running Win11 24H2 (just did a clean install recently Was using 23H2 before that and Win10 22H2 before that. But it was time... on even my 4790K system; it has 32GB of DDR3-1866 and an RTX 2080 Super. I don't need TPM or SecureBoot or BitLocker, I hate all that junk. This is a gaming PC not a glorified business or high end office PC. 90% of consumers do not need all that security junk. I used Rufus to bypass all the Win11 requirements, no problems and using a Local Account. Most all games have no issues at 1440p or 2160p 16:9
Win11 ISO > make USB using latest Rufus > tick all the disable requirements boxes and use Local Account and DO NOT connect to internet when installing Win11 until after it's all done.
Now enjoy Win11 without extra BS.
Want to take that even further, do the EU selection option during OS setup, so you will by EU law have a right to uninstall things like Edge and OneDrive. More crap no one needs.
Im actually on win11 right now on my unsupported 7500. Ive been looking at older cpus for how they perform in newer games cus thats the beauty of PC imo. I can have hardware released during the ps3 era still play games released during the ps5 era. We are not consoles where new games dont support old hardware.
Plus Im not the type of person that constantly worries if my hardware is outdated. Plenty of people now are happy to use their latest headphone-jack-free phones while I say, no I still need that port. Even the latest game AAA game I have is Cyberpunk 2077 which should show you how important I think buying new games every season is to me.
Anyways, thanks for the answers. It seems 50USD and below seems good. Maybe I'll even use the excuse that the 7700k isnt supported by official Windows for an extra bargaining discount
Im not one of those techtokers that drool at the sight of the shiniest newest thing that comes then forgets it exists due to the 5 second attention span. I dont need to upgrade every year, I dont need a new phone every two years. If it works, its does its job
