It's not clear enough the details provided. The 12th generation i5-12600KF might suit your needs, but it really depends on your specific gaming goals like resolution, frame rate, and other preferences.
I play at 1440p on ultra normally. My monitor runs at 144hz and I’m aiming to get the most out of it. The 7700k works but feels a bit old now, so I’m going for something newer to match the new card. I’m interested in running any triple A game at the same resolution and frame rate.
