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.

I'm still waiting for an actual answer to my question.
Someone who "actually" needs intel will not even ask if they need intel or not because of the compatibility of their main softwares (of course amd doesn't really have tons of bugs after them coming back to mainstream, but still are kinda preferred to intel due to how softwares are programmed), but if theres not so much of difference, 7900x will perform well with almost the same price range and could spend less on cooling (intel tends to run way hotter than amd these days)

When ps5 is $499 there is an absolute cap on buying PC for gaming. Sure 90 fps on Cyberpunk at full ultra is a nice thing to have but at what cost?
Interest rates are high now. It is a national warning to keep your money. When rates are low, splurge.
