I've got an RTX 3060 Ti, an i5-11400f CPU, an MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus motherboard, 32GB of 3200MHz RAM, and a 500GB SSD with an extra 1TB of storage. I'm curious if there's anything I should upgrade or replace to boost my performance since I've had this setup for a bit. Am I facing any bottlenecks?

You should check if your RAM is running at its rated speed in UEFI; make sure XMP is enabled for optimal performance. Other than that, everything looks pretty balanced!
To get better performance, yes, you could consider upgrading your GPU or CPU, but that would likely mean needing a new motherboard and RAM too. Just throwing it out there!
Honestly, it looks like you're fine with this setup. A true bottleneck typically happens when you pair something like an i9 with a 3060. Your GPU is solid for your CPU.
Your build's really similar to mine, except I'm using an i5 10400. Overall, your parts complement each other well, so I doubt you'll experience major bottlenecks.
I guess I should specify—are there any compatibility issues with my current setup that I might not be aware of?
