Hey everyone! I'm considering an upgrade to my CPU since I'm having stability issues with my current Intel i5 14400F. I'm trying to get a consistent 240+ FPS in competitive games like CS:GO and Valorant, but my CPU just isn't cutting it. What CPU should I look at for this upgrade?

If you're looking for solid performance, I'd recommend checking out the 7800X3D or the 9800X3D along with a compatible motherboard like the Gigabyte Eagle B850 Wifi 6E. This combo should give you the stability you need for high FPS gaming.
Are you sure it's the CPU causing your issues? What GPU are you using, and what's your gaming resolution? The best CPUs for high FPS will require a new motherboard and DDR5 RAM if you don’t have that already. Consider something like the 7800X3D or 9800X3D, but if you're looking for something that works with your current setup, a 14600K might provide a noticeable upgrade without needing to swap motherboards.
Yeah, I'm pretty convinced it's the CPU! I've got a 4060 GPU and 16GB of DDR5 RAM, but it seems like I’ll need to change my motherboard to get compatible with Ryzen. My current one is a B760 Gaming Plus WiFi.
