12600 (non-K) upgrade to 14600K?

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.

Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can’t say something respectfully, don’t say it at all.
No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.
Give competitors’ recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. 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.
