I'm putting together a gaming build and I'm curious if the Intel Core i7-12700KF will pair well with the RTX 5070. I want to know if the CPU is strong enough for the GPU or if it might hold me back. Any thoughts?

It's mostly a good pairing! Just keep in mind that performance can depend on the resolution you'll be gaming at. If you plan on gaming at 1080p, the setup should handle it well without any issues.
Honestly, the 12700KF should work fine with the RTX 5070. It's a solid CPU, but if you're looking to really max out performance, you might want to consider upgrading to an i9 instead. The price difference isn't huge, and it could give you a bit more longevity.
Thanks for the clarity! I’m sticking with 1080p for now.
