Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my CPU and was considering the i5-13400. Here's a link to my current build: [PCPartPicker Build](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DtZZyW). I primarily play games like CS2 and PUBG. Do you think this upgrade is worthwhile, or should I look for something else? Appreciate your thoughts!

Upgrading from a 12400F to a 13400F might not be the best choice since both have similar core counts. Instead, you should consider an i7 option which gives you more performance with 8 fast cores. The i5-12600K or 14600K could be solid picks too, but keep in mind that your graphics card, the 3060, is likely the bottleneck for gaming performance. Don't skimp on your GPU as it can greatly affect your gaming experience.
Would the 13600K be a better option? CS2 doesn't seem to stretch the GPU much, so I'm curious if there's a noticeable gain.
