I'm looking to build a PC using the parts listed in my build link. The CPU I'm considering is the i5 14600k, mainly because it's currently discounted and comes with a copy of Battlefield 6. However, I'm worried that the sale ends tomorrow, and I really don't want to pay the full price of $200 for the CPU. What should I do? Should I rush to buy it, or is there a better alternative?

Definitely go for AMD's AM5 platform. You're actually lucky you're not stuck with Intel right now. Just steer clear of the Intel 13th and 14th gen chips!
You might want to think about finding an alternative CPU. If the promo ends soon, you could also just wait to see if any deals pop up again. The Gamer Days code might be around till the 7th, but the $40 discount could disappear sooner than that.
I've heard mixed things about the 13th and 14th gen Intel chips. People are saying they've had a lot of issues. Plus, the platform seems pretty dead. If you're serious about gaming, you might wanna consider switching to an AMD AM5 setup instead. It's a better choice overall.
Honestly, if the deal ends tomorrow, why not just order it now? It seems a bit risky to wait if the discount is that important to you.
I can't get it delivered by tomorrow, so I'm trying to figure out my options.
