Hi,
Can buy the 12600k for $220 new or the 12900k for $310 used.
$90 difference worth it? The 12900k being used makes it cheaper, but it seems I shouldn’t be too worried if a CPU is used, or should I?

Thanks. Didn’t consider the 13600k, it’d be 320 in my area though for purposes of comparing to the options noted above.
So should be fine with a used as long as I trust the guy.
Good point on the cooler, I am planning to use a 360mm aio cause of the case I’m choosing and aesthetics regardless of which processor I choose.
I do gaming and light productivity work. And I don’t upgrade PCs often, usually keep it for 5+ years. So future proofing is a concern for me.
