Intel has stated the H470/Z490 motherboards should get Rocketlake compatibility,so even if you have to factor in the motherboard and cooler costs the sub £300 range looks solid value.
ATM,at least the Ryzen 5 3600 is at around £180~£190,but is slower in gaming. However,the Ryzen 5 5600X even if faster than the Core i5 10600KF,is £280 if you are lucky and is trending at well over £300 at many retailers.
The Ryzen 7 3700X is around £280~£300 and is still a solid contender,but the Core i7 10700F is cheaper,and the Core i7 10700KF is faster in games.
The Ryzen 7 5800X only make some sense if you can get if for under £400 which happens on and off,especially in some of the bundle deals. However,at £400 its overpriced.
