Core chips all share the same socket, yes. For your setup, check compatibility with your motherboard and power supply. Your Omen Obelisk 875-0000 series supports these processors, but ensure the PSU and RAM match your system requirements. Consider the CPU’s power delivery and thermal management before upgrading.

Would you like another CPU option? An R7 7700 works but needs DDR5, which isn’t ideal here. It’s not suited for MSRP, but at around $200 it might fit. You could also look into an AM5 socket.

You're considering these processors: i7-12700K, i7-13700K, and i9-12900K. They share the same socket but require a different motherboard. The best upgrade is the i9 9900K, though it may not be the most cost-effective choice. You should also provide your exact PSU details—really surprising that a 9700+3060 model supports a 1000W power supply!

Not optimal for performance or compatibility.

I switched the original components to a new PSU and GPU. The previous setup had a GTX 1660ti and a 500W power supply.

The Ryzen processors cannot be installed in Intel's socket slots.

Needs to be done regardless of the situation.

The 9700 is nearly at the top speed of that board (9900k is the fastest, but upgrading might not be worth it). You’ll likely need to replace the board to achieve a quicker CPU here.

Absolutely, a new CPU paired with Mobo and DDR5 RAM is a great setup.
