Additional Comments:
I was thinking about i5-13600 KF as a new CPU and now I have a problem choosing a motherboard and cooling.

Why Are You Upgrading: I'm having trouble running game BF 2042 and The First Descendant beacause my CPU cannot keep up with my GPU, CPU usage is often 100%.


My current setup:
GPU: RTX 4070ti
CPU: Intel Core i5-8600K
Mainboard: MSI Z370 TOMAHAWK (MS-7B47)
Cooling: Fortis 3 HE1425
Ram: GOODRAM 32GB (2x16GB) 3600MHz CL18 IRDM PRO

Yes, I know that GPU doesn't fit at all in this setup but I have recently bought it and now I'm looking for the rest of the components.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Please stylize your thread with info asked of in this thread;
including where you're located, what your budget for your upgrade path is and what your preferred site for purchase is. We can then move forward with suggestions on how to effectively get the most out of your build.

You forgot to mention the make and model of your case and the PSU. Include the age of the PSU as well if you're intending to recycle it for the upgrade path.
