I'm building my first PC from scratch and I'm focusing on using Intel components. Specifically, I'm trying to find the most optimal Intel CPU to pair with my RTX 5070 graphics card. I've been considering the i7-14700K and the i9-14900K from the Raptor Lake series but I'm open to any other Intel recommendations. Thanks for your help!

If you're purely looking for the best gaming performance, you should really consider the AMD options too. The 9800X3D is currently the fastest gaming CPU available. If you're trying to save some cash, the 7800X3D is slightly slower but cheaper, and the 9600X is excellent for the value, pairing really well with your RTX 5070.
Before I suggest anything, can you share what you plan to use your PC for? Intel CPUs aren’t the best choice for gaming at the moment, but it depends on your specific needs.
