I recently bought a PC with an RTX 4060 Ti and an Intel i7-11700F, which unfortunately broke. I'm looking to replace the CPU, but I'm not sure what the best option would be for this GPU. Should I get the same CPU, or is there a better alternative?

Reworking to an AM5 and snatching up an AMD X3D would be killer if budget isn’t tight. If you want to keep costs down and avoid motherboard changes, going back to Intel may be the way to go, but be prepared to update your BIOS!
Wow, sorry to hear about your CPU! That's pretty uncommon. Just a heads up, before you jump into buying a new one, it might be worth double-checking if it’s actually the CPU that failed. Have you done any diagnostics?
If you want to stick with your existing motherboard, the i7-11700K would be a solid choice. But if you're open to investing in a whole new setup, you could consider the 9800X3D with an AM5 board and DDR5 RAM for a great overall performance in CPU-heavy games.
You should definitely consider your budget and what you're using the PC for. If you're gaming, that could affect your choice. If you're looking for budget-friendly options, sticking with Intel might be easier, but a move to AM5 paired with an AMD X3D could give you better long-term value.
