I’d pick the 13700KF for its higher temperature capability.

Remember the Alder Lake refresh is real—look for 12600K or 12600KF at comparable prices or lower. For gaming, pick 13600 and choose the cheaper option. The F and non-F models can sometimes shift in price, so opt for the cheaper one. If you spend on a 4070, consider getting an RX 6900 or 6950XT instead.
