Hey guys, was looking to upgrade from my 7700k here in the near future and was wondering what you all think would be the best option. Im using this pc for almost exclusively gaming btw. Im using a 3080ti if that influences your opinion to one cpu ovet another. I can do the i5-12600k or i7-12700k. I feel like the i9 would be unnecessary but if its that much better for gaming purposes i could still go for that i suppose. Was going to try to avoid i9 to help pay for the new motherboard ill need (ill def take recommendations for a mobo to).Was also planning on keeping my ddr4 until ddr5 is more widely available and a little cheaper as well. Looking forward to hearing your input! Thanks!

I would say the 12600k is probably the best choice

 

sort of like 3080ti vs 3090, 3% better performance for 30% more money

4sticks = bad for OC. so you need sticks with dual rank, instead of using 4sticks. 
Minimum capacity for dual rank with ddr5 is 32GB per stick.

 

so you need 2x32GB kit.

Yeah no that's not enough info

 

 

the entry 12th gen (i5-12600KF) can be perfectly good for you depending on what you want to game at (resolution, fps, settings etc.)

I game at 1440p on ultra typically. Have a 144hz monitor and looking to take full advantage of it. The 7700k is still fine but its a bit dated at this point so i wanted something newer to compliment the new card. Looking to play any triple a game at the previously stated resolution and fps

Most likely does with all that glass and metal. 

 

 

To the OP: Personally, I'd go with the 12700K as am a sucker too like @Mister Woof and I had a 4790K, so gotta go from i7 to i7.
