imo the one to get. the f-series skus are the best value cpus anyway,so if I can get the same features as far as pci-e connectivity,audio and overall build quality but cheaper then i'm in. 12700F will be 80usd/eur cheaper than 12700K,and the difference in performance might be a couple percent. https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-65w-alder-lake-s-pricing-has-been-leaked-6-core-cpus-to-cost-180-240-usd-4-core-110-140-usd seriously,you're better off buying a f-sku and faster ram instead.you'll end up with same performance at lower power and save a couple bucks too.

@cucaulay malkin i would agree if the f skus where 80 bucks cheaper than the normal or non k ones , from what i can recall out of memory the non f non k skus are 10-20 bucks more expensive historically so while the gpu part of it , can be useless it is nice to have for just 10-20 bucks when you spend at least 500-600 for mb cpu ram ...is really almost never a deal breaker. That said this decision can be altered by factors such as , do you need the extra display outputs ? Do you already have an older backup card ? Do you use /find quick sync useful ?
