I currently have an i5 11000F paired with a 5060 ti graphics card, and I'm starting to feel like my CPU might be bottlenecking my GPU performance. I'm looking for some recommendations on which CPU to upgrade to in order to get the best performance. Any suggestions?

It really depends on how much you're willing to spend. If you're on a budget, I'd recommend going with an AM5 platform. If you share your budget and what games or tasks you typically do, I could help pinpoint a good CPU for you.
You might find the i9 11900(F/non-k) available for about $179-$220, but keep in mind it's an older model without any significant upgrades down the line.
If you're looking for a good upgrade, the 7600X or the 9600 are solid options that would balance well with your GPU. They should help minimize any bottlenecking issues you might be facing.
Okay thank you! I’ll definitely look into those options!
My budget is like $100 - $200 right now, sadly I don’t have a lot of cash to spend at the moment.
