Hey everyone! I'm considering upgrading from my current i5-12400F, as I've noticed it's often maxed out at 90-100% usage, which is a bottleneck for my system. I'm using two 16GB Corsair RAM sticks running at 3600MT and a single fan RTX 3060. Ideally, I want to avoid upgrading my motherboard, but I'm open to it if I can find a good deal. If you need more details, just let me know!

I’d suggest selling your i5-12400F along with the motherboard and RAM as a bundle. You could then pick up a new combo deal for something like a 7600X or any AM5 CPU that fits your budget. Just keep in mind, your GPU might become the bottleneck afterwards, but you’ll get some cash back from your old parts!
That makes sense, but I need to secure the combo first since I can’t afford any downtime for school.
