I have a 4790k now (and a gtx1070) that is starting to struggle with gaming, and I am looking to upgrade. I dont play too much games anymore so I have been looking at buying used parts to keep costs down. I have found the 10700k for decent prices but I have seen that the newer 13700k and 14700k have a bit better performance (although they will be a bit more expensive). I will probably pair it with something like a GTX3070ti, and I play on 1440p. Should I spend the extra money on the newer CPUs or will the 10700k work well with a good GPU?

Give competitors’ recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don’t be rude. Let people enjoy things.
CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you’re worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you’re using.
