At the moment i have a 13700f and it looks like i have a cpu bottleneck with my current gpu (a 4090) and im not sure what would be the best option for upgrading since im also a bit flat on money now since i got my new gpu

Also im not sure if the prices here in my country are high but the 13900k is about 700 USD and the 14900k is about 800usd and the 14700k is about 500usd.

    Before upgrading your CPU

    1. What fps do you get?
    2. What is your screen resolution? Refresh rate?
    3. What is your game config? Which games?

    Do you play CS 2 and getting only 400 fps instead of 600 on 1440p and it bothers you? Or do you play 4k games with RT on maxed out graphics but not fully utilizing your GPU?

    13700f is fairly strong, and should be capable of handling relatively high frame rates, so your game configuration might have a lot to do with your bottleneck.

    If you are tight on money DON’T upgrade your PC, especially if it’s just because of neglectable bottleneck.
