I dont know what could be the best cpu to get between the 14700k. 13900k. And 14900k (alien.top)

At the moment i have a 13700f and it looks like i have a cpu bottleneck with my current gpu (a 4090) and im not sure what would be the best option for upgrading since im also a bit flat on money now since i got my new gpu

Also im not sure if the prices here in my country are high but the 13900k is about 700 USD and the 14900k is about 800usd and the 14700k is about 500usd.

Doubt it's the CPU. Max boost on those things is 5.2GHz stock boost. On 13700K it's 5.3-5.4GHz and so forth. So you're saying 200-600MHz is going to get rid of your bottleneck? It could very well be the game you're playing is not optimized. Because compare them all:

13700F up to 5.2GHz stock boost 8/16 +8

13700K up to 5.4GHz stock boost 8/16 +8

14700K up to 5.6GHz stock boost 8/16 +12

13900K up to 5.8GHz stock boost 8/16 +16

14900K up to 6.0GHz stock boost 8/16 +16

So going from 5.2 to say 5.6-6.0GHz will not eliminate a bottleneck so there is something else, if you want to max out your GPU then go 4K. At 1440p you shouldn't be getting a bottleneck and could just be the game you're playing.
