I’m going to upgrade my son’s PC. He’s got my old Ryzen 3600x after i upgraded to 5900x. was gonna go with Intel for him this time. Microcenter has cpu/mobo/ram combos for the 13700k and 14700k. its $50 difference to go with the 14700k bundle. should i go with the 14 or 13? mainly for gaming for him. got him setup with 1440p 144hz monitor on his desk and also hooked up to 42” 4k 144hz monitor.

not concerned with the $50 price, but more concerned with some youtubers saying the 14 series draws crazy power or isnt that much of an improvement over 13 series.

    14700k! In the i7 range there is a difference in the generations, not in i5 and i9. With the new Intel ipo software feature for 14th gen, definitely go with it, no excuses.
