Get a Ryzen. Intel is restricting many features like ECC, overclocking or virtualization (important for emulators/android development) to certain processors/chipsets. If you want to save money, get a used workstation.

ECC -> Xeon/C

OC -> K/Z

Virtualization -> Xeon&non-K/C&H

Intel caved a little, alder lake consumer chips have ECC ... if you use the right chipset:

Looks like it's time to update the fantasy roster on pc part picker. A shame, since it had such a nice aesthetic! The Vision D looks so clean and well-featured

By the time I get around to actually building it, there may be some similarly-styled mini-ITX AM4 motherboards, so not all hope is lost.
