I need some advice on choosing the best CPU in the $200 to $300 price range. I was thinking about the Intel Core i5-14600KF, but I've come across some reports of issues with 14th-gen chips, so I'm reconsidering. Now, I'm looking into the Ryzen 5 7600 and the Ryzen 7 5800X, but I'm open to other suggestions too. Performance is my top priority since I work in finance and focus on spreadsheets and data modelingโ€”I don't game at all. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

The Ryzen 5 7600 is a solid choice in that price range! It offers great performance for multitasking and handling spreadsheets, especially if you'll be doing heavy data modeling. Plus, itโ€™s energy-efficient. Iโ€™d say go for this one over the Intel Core for your needs!
