I installed Ryzen Master on my old P4/XP box and poof! I got 7 more cores and 14 more threads for free!
This is way better than SoftRAM95 and free, too!
I sold a NIB 3570K 3-4 years ago for $300. Some people will do anything to not have to reinstall their OS, apps, and data.
I have a 4790K, but there's no way I'd sell it to anyone. It runs so hot even after delidding that it will swamp out a Noctua 15 running any serious benchmark.
Intel dominates AMD in the heat generation department. My stock 4790K will swamp out a Noctua NH-D15 and will throttle. The exact same cooler tops out at 66 on my 3700x.
I haven't done it in years. Zero plan on doing it ever again. There's a lot to be said for having a stable PC that doesn't tweak out at the drop of a hat.

I'm in the same boat. I'm going to get the plain 2700 and a decentish board and call it a day. My last two Intel K units were complete clangers. My 3570K only had a few 100MHz OC w/o volt increase and it died before warranty was up. Intel sent me a new one, though.
My 4790K has such a horrible...
EVO: 250 is slower in writes vs the 500 by 300 MB/s (1500 vs 1800). All of them have the same reads. 250 and 500 have the same IOPS.
You will only notice the difference if you are constantly doing disk intensive things...in which case you wouldn't be asking this question.
I have the 250 EVO...
