Good upgrade for i3-12100?

GPU: RX6600

Motherboard: MSI B660M Mortar

Resolution: 1440p

I have been struggling to get above 100 frames in more modern titles. I play a lot of Destiny 2 as well, and my PC drops 40-50 frames whenever too much action is going in that game. But I don’t think my GPU is bad at all, the temps and fan speeds are always fine. I’m starting to think there’s a CPU bottleneck. Can anyone recommend a suitable upgrade?
