I recently bought a 4070 Ti Super for $800, and I'm excited to build my first PC! With the current prices of GPUs like the 5070 Ti at around $1000 and the scarcity of the 4070 Ti Super, I feel I got a good deal. Now, I'm trying to decide on the CPU—should I go with the Intel i7-14700K, i9-14900K, or the AMD 9800X3D? My usage will be both CPU-intensive tasks for work and some gaming. Any advice?

It really depends on what software you're using for work. Intel CPUs tend to perform better for certain applications, so if they're CPU-intensive, the 200 series might be your best bet. Just a heads-up, the 14th gen Intel chips have some stability issues.
Yeah, I need Intel for my work tasks, but I still want solid gaming performance. Maybe the *Ultra 9* might be the way to go?
