I have 13700k with 4070 . Can play every game on planet earth with 1440p resolution

You could go either way… but I think I’d rather those pcores on the 13700k.

If gaming. 14600K is enough. If you plan to do heavier tasks like video editing then 13700K or 14700K. Just check that the TDP of both are the same yet the Maximum Turbo Power Consumption of 13700K is much higher. 253W. Just remember to pair it with a great graphics card. If your focus is primarily on gaming only. The 14600K is enough. And it will also greatly depend on the graphics card and amount of RAM of course.

12600k. For gaming everything higher tier makes a tiny difference relative to the price as 13th and 14th gen are just refreshes
