Asked By TechWizard42 On

Hey everyone! I recently upgraded my GPU from a 1080 to a 3080, and I think it's a good moment to give my CPU a little boost as well. Right now, I'm using an i5 8600K on a Z370-E motherboard. I'm not aiming for the highest performance; I just want to reduce any bottleneck from the CPU. If you need more info, just let me know. Thanks for your help!

What's your budget for the CPU? If it's around $200-300, that opens up a few decent options!

You might want to consider upgrading to an i9-9900K. Just keep in mind that this option pretty much locks you into your current platform for future upgrades. If you're looking to upgrade later on, it might be worth thinking about switching platforms altogether now instead.
