If the price is right this processor can be impressive. Bought this for an itx build and compared it to my personal 9900k. In single-core mode, both processors reach 5.0 GHz, the 10850k scores a few points more and delivers a few frames per second more in games. The 10850k can use faster RAM and thermal performance is much better. But the maximum 5% difference (note the Z processor scores for 9900k 557 10859k 563) isn't quite worth it. In general, I would only upgrade from Gen 6 or older. With the release of Zen 3 and the new 11th gen I would only buy at a significant discount and you can get a cheap z490 board.
