I'm thinking about building a new gaming PC and considering the Intel i7 12700K since it's priced around $200 to $220. I'm aiming for a mini ATX build with a focus on gaming, using a 1440p monitor, and I'm also looking at getting an RTX 5070. Are there any better CPU options in this price range? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Honestly, for gaming, there are definitely better options out there! It's a good idea to look at the overall budget for the whole system instead of just focusing on individual parts. That way, you can maximize your performance.

What CPUs do you recommend that are better at this price point? I'm really focused on gaming.
