Hey everyone! I'm considering upgrading my PC setup and I'm currently using a 12700K processor along with a 3070 GPU. I'm thinking about switching my GPU to either a 9070XT or a 7900XTX, but I'm also contemplating a CPU upgrade. Should I go with the 14900K, switch to an AMD option like the 9950X or one of the 3D chips, or just keep my current CPU? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thanks!

From my experience, the Intel 12th gen is still good but has its issues, especially with power management. If you decide on AMD, just be aware you will need a new motherboard.
Exactly! AMD has a smoother experience overall. No regrets!
Honestly, if you're mostly playing games at 1080p or higher, your 12700K is doing just fine. Unless you're into competitive gaming, there's really no rush to upgrade. It's a solid chip!
Exactly! Unless you're seeing specific bottlenecks, you're good with what you've got.
Yeah, keep it! Upgrading for the sake of it can be a waste.
Right, and honestly, once you swap over, it’ll feel like a breathe of fresh air.
