I'm currently using an i7 10700 with an RTX 3080, and I'm planning to upgrade my motherboard to a B760M for the LGA 1700 socket with DDR4 (since DDR5 is too expensive right now). I'm curious which CPU would be the best value for my setup: the i5 12400, 13500, or 13600K? Just to note, I'm primarily using this rig for gaming at 2K resolution.

What’s bothering you the most about the i7 10700? Are you looking for more performance, or do you feel it's not meeting your gaming needs? Understanding your main concern could help narrow down the options.
The 13600K is about 15% faster than the non-3D models and gives good performance, but keep in mind it’s more expensive too. It might be worth it if you're looking for that extra push in FPS.
If you want to save some cash, consider going for a Ryzen 5 5600X with a B550-F motherboard. It handles 1080p, 1440p, and even 4K gaming without bottlenecking the 3080. I've been rocking mine since 2021 and it still packs a punch.
If you’re gaming at 2K, upgrading from the i7 10700 might not be necessary, especially since the current prices for everything are high. Are there specific games where you're experiencing issues?
