I'm currently using an i5 12600K paired with an ASRock ITX motherboard, but I'm finding that my CPU is bottlenecking my graphics card while playing Battlefield 6. I'm looking for recommendations for a CPU upgrade that would fit my existing motherboard since I got my PC for a really good price. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Going for the 14600K could boost your performance by about 20% which might be what you need. If you're sticking with DDR4 RAM, this could give you a bit more bang for your buck since the 12th gen CPUs are more sensitive to DDR5.
With an i5 12600K and a 4090, I can easily pull around 200 fps. Just curious, are you gaming at 2K or 4K?
You might consider a minor upgrade to a 13th or 14th generation i5 or i7. Just keep in mind that it probably won't make a huge difference overall.
I’ve got 16GB of DDR4 as well. I wanted to upgrade to better RAM, but prices have soared recently.
