I recently scored a z790 nzxt motherboard for $100, but I missed out on the Amazon deal for the 12600kf CPU that I intended to pair it with. Now I'm looking for alternatives that fit my budget of around $150-$160, including tax and shipping. I noticed the 14400f is available for a similar price, but I'm not sure if that's the best choice. Any suggestions?

If you're open to stretching your budget just a bit, the i7 14700k could be a great upgrade, and you might find it for around $220-$230 since it's been sitting on the market. It's definitely a solid option worth considering!
I’ve been eyeing the 14700 too, but I’m hesitant about used ones due to prior issues. I think I’ll stick to new models.
