Hey everyone! I recently upgraded my graphics card to a 5070, but I'm still using my old Intel 12400F CPU. I've been noticing some fps drops while gaming at 1080p, which a friend had warned me about. I'm looking for some recommendations on which Intel CPU would pair well with my 5070 to help improve my frame rates at both 1080p and possibly 1440p in the future. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

A good option would be to go for the Intel 14600K. It should give you a noticeable performance boost! Also, make sure to check whether you're using DDR4 or DDR5 RAM because that can affect your upgrade too. Make the most of your build!
If you prefer not to upgrade your motherboard, focus on LGA 1700 CPUs that are faster than the 12400F. You could look into the higher-end models from the 12th, 13th, or 14th generation for better performance without needing a new board.
I'm running DDR4, and it's getting a bit old too.
