I'm looking for an alternative AM4 CPU since DDR5 prices are insane right now. The only CPU I'm considering is the 5800X3D, but I need suggestions for other options primarily for gaming. I just upgraded to a 9060 16 GB GPU, and I'm experiencing a significant bottleneck. What would be the best choice?

You might want to check out the 5700X3D, 5600X3D, or the 5600. Those are solid alternatives to the 5800X3D. Also, what CPU are you currently using?
Definitely look into the 5700 or 5800; they're both solid choices!
For a non-3D option, the 5800 or 5800XT should pair well with your 9060 XT. You might still hit some CPU limitations in certain games, but have you tried Virtual Super Resolution? It can really help with performance.
Tell me more about that.
I have a Ryzen 5 2600.
