Question Looking for upgrade without bottle-neck.

[Jimmy_89]

So I have looked everywhere, and I am trying to find a new CPU that goes well with my GPU and that fits my motherboard.

Current Gear:
CPU: Inter Core i5-9600K 3.70GHz
Motherboard: ROG STRIX Z390-F GAMING
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 ti

According to bottleneck-calculator, I get roughly a 28.2% bottleneck. And all suggested CPU's that they recommend only lowers it to around 15%
I am not that good at tech, so some advice on what CPU I should get that fits my Motherboard and works well with my GPU is highly appreciated.

You will need to perform a platform upgrade eventually. As it stands you could get an i7-9700K or an i9-9900K onto that socket, which would be a mild step above what you currently have. Speaking of processors, what resolution and frequency do you game at? Assuming this build is taxed with gaming duties, primarily...?

We're going to need to know more about your current system's specs. Please list these:
CPU cooler:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

According to bottleneck-calculator...

Stop doing that.
Those things are worse than useless.

You're not looking for a lower 'bottleneck' number, but rather, increased performance.

Putting in a better part, either CPU or GPU, never results in 'worse performance'.

New CPU = more FPS
New GPU = better eyecandy

if you dont overclock i would recomend the ones below
both will require a bios update

i7-9700​

i9-9900​

also bottleneck calculators are garbage.

faster cores and more cache and faster speed works better in shooters or games that require the cpu to do heavy lifting.

gpu does as someone already put it all the eye candy.
