Should I get a Intel Core Ultra 7 265k, Intel i7 14700k, or a Intel i9 12900k

They all come in bundles from micro center. The core ultra 7 and i7 come in z790/z890 motherboards and 32gb 6000 ram for $500 and the i9 comes with a z790 and 32gb 6000 for $430. I only game, I mainly play fps games like rust, R6, and a sometimes play story game. Which ones will give me the most fps and will overall be the best?

I’ve had it since Jan 2024. No problems at all. Upgrade the bios tho.

Obviously 14700k but 14th series have still degradation issues so "Which ones will give me the most fps and will overall be the best?" None of this

So yes amd. I can't recommend 265k because performance and support is bad.

12900k is just too old.

So if you really want to buy fast cpu thats might stop working in few years then 14700k is best option.

Ps. I know intel patched motherboard but I see weekly posts about degradation. So i have my doubts

Micro center deals in my area are only on intel
