I am buying a i7-12700 .Is it better than the f or k varient and also is it better than i5-13500? The use of pc is for creative purposes and medium gaming.The gpu is 1650 super

f versions have no igpu (and therefore require a gpu to have display)

 

k versions can be overclocked

 

13500 is faster but has less cores (although it has more P-cores and as many threads as the 12700)
 

Have you done any thinking about AMD?

 

Have you bought the mobo already?

 

If not would you like a some help? What is your budget?

I might be experienced, but I'm human and I do make mistakes. Trust but Verify! I edit my messages after sending them alot, please refresh before posting your reply. Please try to be clear and specific, you'll get a better answer. Please remember to mark solutions once you have the information you need. Expand this signature for common PC building advice, a short bio and a list of my components.

 

Common build advice:

1) Buy the cheapest (well reviewed) motherboard that has the features you need. Paying more typically only gets you features you won’t use. 2) only get as much RAM as you need, getting more won’t (typically) make your PC faster. 3) While I recommend getting an NVMe drive, you don’t need to splurge for an expensive drive with DRam cache, DRamless drives are fine for gamers. 4) paying for looks is fine, just don’t break the bank. 5) Tower coolers are usually good enough, unless you go top tier Intel or plan on OCing. 6) OCing is a dead meme, you probably shouldn’t bother. 7) "Bottlenecks" rarely matter and "Future-proofing" is a myth. 8) AIOs don't noticeably improve performance past 240mm and don't improve at all past 360mm. 9) RTFM.

Bio:

He/Him - I'm a PhD student working in the fields of reinforcement learning and traffic control. PCs are one of my hobbies and I've built many PCs and performed upgrades on a few laptops (for myself, friends and family). My personal computers include 4 windows (10/11) machines and a TrueNAS server (and I'm looking to move to dual booting Linux Mint on my main machine in future). Aside from computers, I also dabble in modding/homebrew retro consoles, support Southampton FC, and enjoy Scuba Diving and Skiing.

Fun Facts

1) When I was 3 years old my favourite toy was a scientific calculator. 2) My father is a British Champion ploughman in the Vintage Hydraulic Class. 3) On Speedrun.com, I'm the world record holder for the Dream Bobsleigh event on Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games 2010.

I haven't bought anything yet.but the gpu might be handed to me for 70usd by a cousin. I was suggested not to buy an amd for creative work ,although a little help is appreciated.My budget is 650 usd for the full build.

Depends on what your creative work would be, some Intels do well with certain things and AMD's are the same way with other things. 
If you were to define what creative work you refer to, the guys here can either confirm or deny an Intel being the best choice for it.

This is so whatever you get will be best for what you are wanting to do and not waste $$ in the process along with other things like if it's going to need lots of RAM or maybe not that much and so on.
