I5-12600k upgrade to? (alien.top)

Rig: Intel i5-12600k / MSI Z790 Tomahawk / MSI RTX 4080 Suprim X / 64 GB DDR5 kingston fury / Lian Li mesh performance II / Noctua DH-15 with two fans / 2 intake fans / 3 exhaust fans / Gaming at 1440p & 4k

I want to upgrade my cpu, but I’m wondering what would be a logical upgrade, and if an upgrade from 12th gen is even worth it to 13th or 14th gen at the moment (with current price to performance).

I’m leaning towards 14th gen since it’s also the last gen on a LGA1700 socket, but with the bad reviews on it i’m not quite sure it’s worth the effort. Then again i just bought the motherboard, and i don’t want to wait on 15th gen and have to buy a new mobo again. Any thoughts and advice?
