I'm currently using an i7-9700f and considering an upgrade since I want to game at 1440p with a refresh rate of 144Hz or more. My budget is between $200 to $250, but I'm unsure which CPU would be the best fit for my 9060XT graphics card. Any recommendations?

For a budget build, I'd recommend looking at the Ryzen 7600x as a solid option. If you want a bit more power, the 7700x is also good but might stretch your budget slightly. I previously used the 7600x with a 9070xt at 1440p, and it performed really well. Just make sure to check compatibility with your motherboard.
I'll have to look into those!
