Here are my thoughts:
1. Asus board is better. I had issues with not recognizing nvme and slow boot time with MSI board. The MSI's default voltage is too high and causing high cpu temp, especially with enhanced turbo on. No issues with asus board although you need to get a nvme heatsink since it's not provided with the board.
2. I undervolted both CPUs. Set offset -0.070 and -0.05 and power limited 125w and 120w pl1/pl2 on 12900k and 13700k respectively. 12900k lost about 12% and 13700k lost about 18% in multi thread but the temperatures are <65 c under benchmark and still about 10% faster than 13600k. Gaming temp is around 50-55 c. Overall 13700k runs slightly hotter but still scores better than 12900k in multi thread.
If you are buying for gaming only, just get the 12900k. It's a lot cheaper and the fps is almost the same between these two CPUs.

benchmarks they pretty much perform similarly.
Intel Core i7-14700K Raptor Lake 3.4GHz Twenty-Core LGA 1700 Boxed Processor (Heatsink Not Included)
The current deal and link posted here is for an i7-13700k. The CPU listed in this deal is Raptor Lake 16-Core Desktop Processor.
I'm not too familiar with the deal or computers but just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something?
Seperate question : do all modern cpus an MB not require a gfx card? Last I built only half had that an it was likely something to avoid due to higher cost
