I'm thinking about upgrading my current i5 9400f to an AMD processor and I'm hoping to find something that won't break the bank. I'm looking for a low-cost option, ideally around $100 or maybe a little more. By the way, I have a 5060 graphics card too. Any suggestions?

When you mention low cost, that can mean different things to different folks. If you already have DDR4 memory, going with something like an AM4 setup could be your best bet. You might look into a CPU like the 5800X; it could work well without costing too much!
Your setup seems pretty solid! What kind of issues are you experiencing? Are there specific games where you're facing problems?
Yeah, I'm having a tough time with Escape from Tarkov and Minecraft with mods. Plus, some games that used to run smoothly have started lagging.

Just to clarify, I'm aiming for around $100 or slightly above for the processor.
