12600 (non-K) upgrade to 14600K? (alien.top)

I have an MSI Pro B660M-A motherboard and a 12600 (non-K) CPU with 3070Ti, Corsair RM650 PSU, and 4x8gb 3200Mhz DDR4 RAM.

I want to maximize the potential of this build by upgrading to the 14600k, as I can get one for very cheap this coming holiday sale. Is this a good upgrade or I should just stay with my 12600 and save the money?

With a 3070Ti you are likely to be GPU bottlenecked rather than CPU. So you are probably not going to much, if any, of a performance increase with the 14600K.
