Both of those CPUs should serve you well for gaming! The main difference is that the i7-13700F has more cores, which can be beneficial for certain games and workloads.

That's true. I've been using an i5-14400F in my build for a while now, and it's served me quite well. But if you don't mind spending a bit extra, the i7-13700F is definitely worth considering.

Thanks for sharing that link, @AnonomouslyHere. I'll definitely take some time to read through it and see if the extra cores on the i7-13700F are worth it for me.
