I'm planning to upgrade my CPU and I'm currently using a 12th Gen i3-12100. My budget for the new CPU is around £200. I have an RTX 3050 graphics card, but I'm looking to upgrade to a 4070 soon. I'm a bit lost on what CPU would work best for me, especially considering my current setup. Any suggestions?

First off, what's your motherboard? That can really impact your options. Also, what resolution do you play at? Knowing that can help narrow down the CPU choices.
Your motherboard’s power delivery isn’t the best for high performance, so you might want to keep that in mind. You can upgrade to CPUs like the 12700KF or the 14600KF, but just be aware you’ll need to manage power draw manually if you go too high. If you go for the 14th Gen, just remember to update your BIOS first!
