So as the title says I'm trying to decide which CPU to pair with an RTX 3080. I'm deciding between a 10700K, 10850K, 10900KF and 10900K. My main concern is bottlenecking, I also intend to overclock. Listed below are the prices in my country for the mentioned CPUs. I would appreciate any advice you have to offer and possible pros and cons of pairing the CPUs with the GPU.

Since the price difference between the 10900K and the 10900KF is more than 100€ is it worth getting the KF version or are there any other significant differences between them other than the lack of integrated graphics with the KF?

The 10900KF performs as well as the 10900K but it does not have an iGPU...so you must have a dedicated GPU to have a display working.
If money is in the equation... the i7-10700K is very, very close to the 10900K in gaming performance.
10700K: a little more cooling headroom due to the fewer cores/threads.
All the other options have Thermal Velocity Boost which auto OC the cpu as long as you keep it under 70C - much like Ryzen 3000 and later, but those stop at 80C.
Great options for best out of the box performance.
Either way, trying to OC any of them is going to demand exotic cooling.

Slovenia, and yes the prices seem pretty expensive which is probably due to the extremely poor supply of components, most big brand 3080s like from Asus, Gigabyte and MSI are mostly not in stock here and I will probably have to settle for a less known brand like Palit if I want to get the card before the new year. Although most comments on the internet say that Palit is a good brand, I still don't feel as comfortable buying it as I would a Asus TUF card for instance.
