My parts are in a small form factor case, and the 14600k just runs way too hot to cool with limited CPU cooler choices (in my personal situation because of the case I own).
I would go for either of those, just depends on pricing/promo going on at the time (free game, or free ram, etc).
If you're using a 12 series intel, the motherboard you already own may be compatible with the 14600k- but also brings up the point that you could go with a 12600k for $149 and likely not have to change anything else out. That will also provide a great boost Vs the CPU you have now. I have one of those in the home theater pc upstairs and it's still very solid.
What are you primarily wanting to accomplish? Gaming is top priority, or something else?

At $350 I'd probably save a bit more? Or just go with the most budget friendly AMD so you have more legroom to upgrade later.
What do you think about the AMD 8700G? I'm not planning to get a GPU, or maybe just a cheap one.
I miss when half the deals on SlickDeals were computer parts. Now it's a lot of overpriced Apple stuff and shoes. Sign of the times I suppose.
