Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my PC specs and could really use your advice. Here's what I've got right now: an RX 7700 XT graphics card, an Intel i5 10400F processor, 32GB of DDR4 RAM, running on Windows 11, and powered by a 750W PSU. The big issue is my Gigabyte H410M H V2 motherboard, which limits me to 10th gen Intel CPUs. I've just switched from a GTX 1650 to the RX 7700 XT, but I feel like the CPU is bottlenecking my gaming experience depending on the title. Unfortunately, I'm struggling to find a suitable CPU upgrade that fits my motherboard, plus the ones that do are either out of stock or way too pricey since I had a prebuilt. I'm planning to upgrade both my motherboard and CPU and am also considering a new case and possibly new RAM. I'm especially interested in recommendations for a motherboard and CPU combo that can handle 1080P gaming with my RX 7700 XT, without breaking the bank. Oh, and my GPU is about 266cm long, so keep that in mind when suggesting case types. Thanks for any help! Also, I'm pretty new to PC building, so I appreciate your patience!

First off, what's your budget and where are you located? If you're in the U.S. and near a Microcenter, that could help a lot! But if you’re in Poland, as you mentioned, I can give other suggestions based on prices there.
Hey, thanks for the response! My budget is around 500-550 USD. Sadly, no Microcenters in Poland.
