Hello, I am trying to build the best minecraft Gaming PC, so can you please tell me your best gaming processor you have ever made. By the way I don't care about which motherboard is required for the processor.

I just checked and it is on Microsoft's suppprted list. It is still 5 years old. But, if that is what you want, go for it, Personally, I would not want to be 5 years from being current.

The 7980XE is 5 years old. Go with the latest processor - the 12900K.
Plus, Windows 11 is not supported on the 7980XE.

You can compare the two processors here:

I am not advising you to get the 12900K. I am saying that I would, as I would not want to have a processor that is already 5-years old.

I would also go for the 12th Gen... support and compatibility releases for the X Series-based platforms would not be offered the same long-term period that it would be for the newer 12th Gen...
Plus, you're getting the option to take advance of new features with 12th Gen, support for DDR5, PCIe 5, Thunderbolt 4, and so on...
I wouldn't base my purchase decision just on a single-game use purposes... but if that is what you are looking for... I mean, if you are only focusing on a CPU for this game... my advice is to go and google for benchmarks testing both CPUs with the said game and you may then take that into consideration...
Disclaimer: I am not advising to buy the 12th Gen either... just sharing my personal opinion... You need to do your own research and take the final decision based on what you found and what you need...
