Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.
CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

i5 13600k vs i7 13700k - not upgrading for 5+ years (alien.top)

As title suggests; upgrading from haswell & gtx 970 -> raptor lake & rtx 4070.

Dont plan to upgrade for another 5+ years at least. worth going the i7 route in this case? Mainly doing gaming, video editing & 3d modelling (hobbyist - not professional).

Not really fussed about meteor lake & 14th gen raptor lake doesn't seem totally worth it for the price. With black friday deals I can build the i7 rig for as much as I was gonna pay for the i5. It's just debating whether i want to save that 100..

Also thought about putting the money towards a better GPU, but 4070ti is barely a step up for £200 extra and the 4080 is a no go (not going AMD old habits die hard lol), so that's that.

Would love to hear some thoughts on this as i've been out of the PC loop for some time! Thx in advance.

14700k given extra core & little increases clock speed than 13700k.
