Wondering what people’s suggestions would be should I get the current gen i7 or last gen i9?

Primarly use my pc for gaming a bit of video editing + work but when I upgrade my pc again in hopefully 5+ years I put the CPU, motherboard and memory into my home server that I use for my lab.

i9 is £460 i7 is £420

    If I’m gonna keep the same pc for 5 years, I’d go for 14700k or 14900k instead and a z790 refresh motherboard. I want a board with wifi 7 10gb lan port and gen 5 ssd (this one not sure as it cuts the bandwidth for gpus)

    Other option is amd 7950x3d or 7900x with x670 motherboard
