You don't even need all that CPU to properly feed a RTX4070 (and broken PC ports are broken on every CPU for the most part), the RTX4070.. it's basically a RTX3080 with framegen right? i7 13700/K based CPU is ample vs the 13900K you want but don't need.

https://download.cnet.com/minitool-partition-wizard-free-edition/3000-2094_4-10962200.html I've used this so many times and never have had a failed result. I use the COPY wizard, it makes a 1:1 copy inc Windows boot manager Then I just change the boot order in the bios to the other drive, and discard/format the old drive. As windows has files in use typically... it reboots if you are copying a currently in use c:\,...on the reboot it does the 1:1 copy in the pre-windows boot environment, then restarts after it's done leaving you with the two drives (mirrored) and that's when I change the boot order in the bios/uefi. I've never had it not work, and it's pretty easy to follow.

5000/4700=1.06% and the voltages to get it so,..make it warmer. Windows will shift workloads around the cores typically as well,.. I'd just be happy with 4.7Ghz to be honest and the cooler/quieter operation at less voltages.

Have you considered your at the limit of the board... I managed 106.95 BCLK on the z97-K from Asus,...a 4690 nonK but within 6 months the USB ports went to pot and stopped working. While overall stability on the CPU side didn't get worse, even still, there IS A LIMIT to what you can achieve. I doubt you wanna buy a new board just to get 106/107, it's pretty cool where you are and that you got where you did. I should have backed off to 106.something....possibly even 105... 106.95 was my limit, 106.95+ wouldn't boot without errors. You could just buy a couple extras off ebay or whatever and bin them yourself, as opposed to dealing with your 4590 you have now. If you don't want to buy anything, I'd now work on squeezing RAM OC/Timings down if you can't get more speed/bandwidth out of it.

Target your Monitor Refresh Rate as an FPS Target... You'll find both are likely sufficient for most peoples needs,... IMO.

Some games will REQUIRE specific instruction sets before they even open... 4th Gen Haswell AVX2 included can run games the 2nd Gen can't even open... (regardless of CPU strength) IMO I'd not pair anything much faster than (Relative GPU's of similar output) GTX1070/RTX3050/GTX1660 series with them..

You'll still find shitty broken games that people can use as examples... It's not that serious. Solid CPU for 60-120hz Gaming, Solid GPU for High/Ultra details Pick your balance to your preferences... FPS or Visuals. But both are strong in their respective fields. I wouldn't worry whatsoever, you'll be choosing GPU bound settings 99% of the time unless your a CODBro with Minimum details.

It's not like the 10700K can't provide the SIMPLE 60FPS you are after. Many of the Games don't use all cores, so core strength matters (IPC/Latency) while newer generations will uplift performance of the MAXFPS/AVG/MIN, it's not even an issue because the term "Whats the GOAL" is important... the goal being 60FPS and the CPU isn't even phased providing 60FPS in almost all games but the problematic broken ones, so you are good to go keep using the 10700K (in my opinion) I'm on a 10850K (10c20T minus -100Mhz from 10900K) and it's overkill for me too...

Most generations back can do 60FPS gaming, it's not actually a heavy task really... Many game engines can scale to 60fps given the most modest CPU horsepower. Go look at 10700K reviews at 1080p Ultra (GamersNexus has HEAPS of comparative data) with a FAST GPU, FPS scales up pretty well... On NEWER reviews (12600/12700/13700) you can see even if they don't show 10700K they usually have 10600K/10900K values stated which is helpful in a sense. Keep in mind you only stated about a MINFPS of 60FPS or better then it's clear to me it's actually overkill.

Yeah its just being aware of what settings are on offer and what they can do for you... Im glad you watched the video and got the value information from it. Its competitive FPS game so like me and many others, reducing details down for Higher fps iE a performance mode (Fortnite LiteGfx) is ideal for visibility and FPS. At least in these shooter games. Fortnite offering the performance mode saves you doing the research/testing yourself

Would you be using Fortnite performance mode (LITE EZ FPS LOW DETAIL MODE?) You could max out a 120Hz+ Monitor with ease in Fortnite Performance mode at 1080p/1440p with a GTX1650 Look at these chapters....with various details and modes... Also what OTHER Games do you want to get into...? as the GTX1650 will be lacking smoothness outside of 1080p/1440p lower settings or lighter games. Australian Dollars.. $399 ish or more for a 12GB RTX3060 l which I would get over the 8GB for sure... https://www.staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=rtx 3060&spos=5 You should be able to find a 12GB specific model, hopefully for the $399 12GB Version of the 3060.. with all the RTX suite support (RTX Voice/Broadcast/SuperRes/DLSS etc) you can use except Frame Generation which is does not support (albiet game modders are finding ways to integrate FrameGen on unsupported cards all the time)

Nvidia Conrrol Panel 3D Settings / Power Management Is it on Max Performance or Adaptive / Optimal? Symptoms would appear its possibly set to Max P (Full Clocks on IDLE)

Pretty negligible I'm actually a little surprised. (Cinebench R20 Multicore 100% workload)
