I am considering upgrading from a i5-13600k to a i7-14700k. same socket and good psu so no additional parts are required. other specs include a 4080, 32gb, plenty of (quick) storage. would this be a mistake/waste of money? i don't do any video rendering, but i do multitask a lot. any opinions would be appreciated
