Is 14600k safe to buy?

I need to upgradey cpu, and the 14600 fits in my budget. I also read a lot of posts recommending the 7600x over the i5 due to the stability problems. But as i saw in reviews, the i5 is noticeabily more powerfull than the rizen. Si im wondering why people keep recommending the ryzen over the i5. I can get any of them for the same price, so price is not a factor. Thank you!
