Hello! I have an MSI Radeon RX 480 Gaming X 8G graphics card. Can someone give me good reccomendations on an 8th or 9th gen Intel CPU (LGA 1151) that will not bottleneck my GPU? I am in USA and i have a $200 budget. My other specs are ADATA 16GB DDR4, MSI B360 Gaming PLUS and a Seagate 2TB HDD. I am looking at the i5-9400f, is that a good option?

Can you try and sell the mobo?
That way you could get the i5-10400F and a new mobo, that has the same 6 cores but HTT enabled for 12 threads.
