I'm currently using a prebuilt system with a Ryzen 7 7600X, a 4070 Ti graphics card, 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, and 1 TB of storage. I'd love to upgrade my CPU for a better gaming experience with titles like Minecraft (modded), Outbreak, Snowrunner, FS22, Forza 5, and any upcoming games like Forza 6. Any recommendations for a CPU that would give me a significant boost?

Just a heads up, the Ryzen 7 7600X is actually an AM5 CPU, meaning it uses DDR5 RAM, not DDR4. Make sure to check your specs again!
If you're on a Ryzen 7 5700X, the only real upgrades that would make a difference are the Ryzen 7 5800X3D or 5700X3D. However, they're tough to find now and can be pretty pricey. Most AM4 processors won’t give you a significant boost in gaming, so it may be worth considering whether you really need an upgrade right now.
Right! My mistake—I'm thinking of the Ryzen 7 5700X, that's the one I have. Thanks for pointing it out!
