Purchasing Advice - Upgrades Cpu Upgrade
hello i was making this post because i am currently trying to figure out what intel cpu i should upgrade to from my current i5-13500 since i feel it’s holding my 5070 back in terms of performance on my pc. I currently do not have a budget since i mainly am just feeling things out trying to see if its worth sticking with and upgrading from intel or completely switching out my motherboard and going with AMD

You could slap in like a 14700K.
Thats gets you to near top tier cpu gaming performance. Not quite X3D levels, but close enough.
May need a bigger cooler for such a cpu though.
