I3 12100 £140, absolutely wipes the floor with all previous 4c / 8t chips, 12300 is barely any better.
I5 12600 is only £50 more than the 12400F at £230, the lower I5s don't cost enough less for losing the 4.8 Ghz boost clock.
£90 more for the top non K CPU, and it has the better integrated graphics until I can ever find a decent price RTX card for my main PC to move my 1080 Ti to this lounge PC. Also I wouldn't want to bother with needing to upgrade it any time soon.
I'm leaning towards the 12600, but there aren't any motherboards for it yet so I can wait a while. I also need NZXT to send me an alder lake mount for a 140mm AIO I already have.
Also H670 is better than B660 according to this?

Asrock are releasing an ITX H670 and they're usually the cheapest ones, so I will likely want that one.
