I'm trying to upgrade my CPU from the i5 10400f and I need some help deciding on the best option. My only requirement is that the new CPU should support DDR5, and I'm open to either AMD or Intel. Also, I'm concerned that my GPU, an RTX 2060, might be bottlenecking my system. If you think that's the case, what would be a good upgrade for that as well?

What’s your budget like for the upgrade?
You have some solid options! I suggest looking at the Ryzen 9 9800X3D, it’s an excellent choice for performance. Right behind that would be the 7800X3D if you want to save some cash. There's also the Intel options like the 9700X or 7700X, which are pretty good too. Just pick based on your budget!
I'm looking to spend around $400.
