I'm looking for some help in choosing a CPU. I have a motherboard with an LGA 1700 socket and I've already picked up 5200MHz RAM. I'm hoping to get recommendations for good CPUs that will fit both of these requirements. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

All LGA 1700 CPUs support DDR5-5200 RAM, so you're in good shape! I'd suggest considering options like the i5-12600KF, i5-14600K, or maybe even the i9-12900KS. Just pick one that fits within your budget, which is crucial.
My budget is around $200-300. I'm not sure what's the best choice for that price range since I'm pretty new to building PCs.
