I'm looking to upgrade my GPU and want to make sure I get one that won't bottleneck my system. I'm currently running an i7 7700K and I want to achieve 180Hz at 1440p. I'm not interested in any GTX models since I'm upgrading from a GTX 1070 Inno3D IChill X4 Edition.

The i7 7700K will probably bottleneck newer GPUs, especially if you're playing at 1440p. If your budget allows, consider upgrading your entire platform to AM5 and pairing it with something like an RX 9060XT 16GB for better performance overall.
Are there any decent CPUs I could upgrade to that still use the LGA 1151 socket?
