Depends on the specific chip, not all i9 chips have issues? I’ll agree that it’s safer to go with the i7 however if you’re not going to do any research.
There’s a couple of notorious i9 cpus that are very hard to cool, so you do need to watch out for that.

Thank you, I wasn't aware of the cooling issues beyond what was said earlier about making sure it has a good cooling system like a liquid cooler. I will ask about that. I wasn't really sure what the difference was between i7 and i9, but if more cores means it's harder to cool then getting the i7 may be better. If an i7 with the 4070 will run as good as the others then saving the money may be worth it.

@AymCTL save for whatever you'd like, Apex isn't that new so anything current will completely destroy it unless you want all graphics topped off and still have high fps, I'd also consider wondering other areas or games, because personally I wouldn't build a PC just around playing Apex
