I was thinking of getting an I7 14700khttps://www.newegg.com/intel-core-i7-14700k-core-i7-14th-gen/p/N82E16819118466?
Intels are garbage now.
This says that it depends on your range (for gaming):

Value Best CPU for Gaming: $200 to $250 AMD Ryzen 5 7600X (Buy) [More] Core i5-13400 (Buy) | Ryzen 7 5700X3D (Buy)
Highest Performance Best CPU for Gaming: $500+ AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D (Buy) [More] Intel Core i9-13900K (Buy)
Mid-Range Best CPU for Gaming: $250 to $300 Intel Core i5-13600K (Buy) [More] Ryzen 7 5800X3D (Buy)
Budget Best CPU for Gaming: $100 to $150 Intel Core i3-12100F (Buy) [More] AMD Ryzen 5 5600 (Buy)
Entry-Level Best CPU for Gaming: (iGPU) Ryzen 5 8600G (Buy) [More] AMD Ryzen 5 5600G (Buy)
I looked into the Ryzen7-7800X3D only because it's more available than the i7-14700F but it's only ~$30 cheaper but it's ~twice the wattage and nearly 25% slower. I can't get an i7-14700F anywhere near me right now that isn't already in a machine.
Please look at realistic test results, because Ryzen performs not as good as Ix in the labs, but since multiple cpu vulnerabilities in intels microprocessors are patched at bios and OS level, the intels often perform worse in real world usecases.
Just my 2 cents.
