I think i5-13600K is the new i5-2500K. It is a beast in both gaming and productivity tasks, overclocks well and will probably last years.
Mine is overclocked to 5.4Ghz/4.3Ghz (P/E) on air and I have also overclocked and tightened my RAM. Gaming performance is just sweet and I believe my little i5 can handle the next GPU upgrade too. I’m currently using RX 7900 XT and play at 1440p so I don’t need to upgrade soon though.
