I somehow missed the 14600K + Battlefield 6 Combo deal for $160 (insane deal), now the 14600K is $230 (without Battlefield 6). I feel dumb for missing the deal. The 14600K and 9600X are both $230 now. The 7600X is $200, the 9700X is $325.
Monitor is 3440x1440p (1440p Ultrawide) 120Hz.
I'll be doing gaming, Minecraft (single core performance important), SDXL, Local LLM and some video editing. I don't need the absolute best.
Do I pick the 14600K, 9600X or a whole different one? Or should I wait for Black Friday deals?
