With the exception of the "flash" sale Amazon had on the 14700k at 1am couple weeks back (which I think was really a matching price algorithm mistake), the best price I have seen for a K (no F) is $189.99 for the 14600k at Microcenter. Amazon just lowered the price of their 14600k to $200. 14700k is $300 at MC, have not seen another vendor match yet.
Intel's older processors have apparently been selling really well lately, due to price drops and tariff fears. I am trying to hold out for one more drop, but may pick up the 14600k if comes back in stock at my MC.

The 14 should be faster but they limited the power on many of them to keep the heat down and as such limited the max frequency.
If you up the power usage it should be faster overall.

Absolutely. I use this exact CPU, 12600kf, right now. I recycled my old Arctic Freezer 34 eSports Duo for it (single tower air cooler, 2x 120mm), keeps it under 70c under load. Any good single tower cooler will work, almost any of the ID Cooling or Thermalright coolers for example.

I highly recommend the 12100 for a Plex server. It can hardware encode almost everything relevant. It's only missing AV1. Which, it can hardware decode.
It might be worth just checking their inventory every now and then to see.
