my computer lists 12, so just as it should be....
yes you can without disadvantages
You would also have to buy a new motherboard because the 12700k has a lga 1700.
Why not just buy the 13700k?
Yes, the i7-12700K or even without K is perfectly sufficient for this, since with the i9 you primarily only have more efficiency cores, which don't play a role in gaming anyway. Depending on the monitor Hz rate at the resolution (I have the same resolution as you), the GPU will probably be the bottleneck in the end.
