I'm currently using an i5-14400F CPU and an RTX 5060 GPU, but I'm looking for ways to boost my overall performance. Should I upgrade to an RX 9060XT (16GB) or go for an i7-14700F? I know AMD might be a better choice, but I'm on a tight budget and can't change my motherboard right now.

Honestly, both upgrades you're considering might not deliver a significant performance boost. If I were you, I'd save some more cash and look into a more substantial upgrade—maybe get an AM5 setup with a powerful GPU like the 5070 or 9070XT. That's where you'll see the biggest gains in performance.
I rushed into getting the 5060 without knowing much, thinking the latest model would be great. Your idea sounds solid though—saving for a more substantial upgrade seems smart!
