Question New cpu suggestion or stick?

[Altom_]

Current PC specs
msi pro z690 a ddr4
And i have got rtx 3080ti Asus Tuf and i5 12600k CPU
With an msi A850gf psu
WD Black SN850 SSD
WD Black SN850X SSD
Seagate Barracuda ST100DM010 HDD

I like to do a lot of multitasking while I game I enjoy call of duty at the moment however I will have bluestacks open for a mobile game then will have the browser open with about 5tabs so I was wondering if it's worth upgrading it or maybe something else first?

How much RAM do you currently have?

CPU lookin fine for your tasks and demand.

If the RAM is low, you should look into upgrading that first.
BlueStacks and browser + some other apps will require 16GB + (minimum)
If a PC game is also open, you will need higher, about 32GB

No good sales today. 12700K and 12700KF can often be found on pretty steep discounts. Keep an eye out.

That or you could just drop in a 14700K and call it a day.

Eh, I mean you would get a nice gaming bump if you went to an I7 14700, but it wont really make a huge difference for most other things if its already fine as it is. Honestly, I would wait for a few months to see what the Ryzen 9000 series looks like, then potentially go AM5 at that point. Your 12600k at stock performs right around that 13400 in the review below.
