Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and motherboard so I can have a smoother experience with next-gen games. I've been using a Ryzen 5 5600x on a DDR4 AM4 motherboard with 16GB of RAM, but it's starting to feel a bit underwhelming lately. My current GPU is a 4070TI, which I love and don't plan to replace anytime soon. I'm in Turkey, so pricing can be a bit tricky, but I think my budget will be around $1k to $1.5k. I'd love to hear any recommendations or suggestions you might have, especially regarding Intel options since I'm not too familiar with what they offer at this price point!

Before you upgrade, it might be worth checking your GPU usage in games with MSI Afterburner. If it's not hitting 100%, you could probably get more performance just by upgrading your RAM. But if you really want to enhance your gaming experience, a 5700x3d with extra RAM could be a solid choice.
I ran into the same thing while playing lately, and my GPU wasn't fully used. But I'm definitely looking ahead to play those big titles like GTA 6.
