So I have a i5 10400f rn but I want to upgrade to a i9 11900k because my gpu is the rx 7900xtx and I only get 70% from it so what do I do when I put in a new cpu

    While everyone seems to be on here to say dump that trash and move to the newest gen, I’m gonna say go ahead and do the upgrade for you. You can buy a nice used CPU on eBay or hopefully marketplace or something for cheap. I’d go with a 11700k or 11900k depending on price and if your motherboard will get the extra available (depending on model) m.2 drive enabled with 11th gen. In my opinion if you are gaming, the extra storage will benefit you immediately with being able to download more games and stuff. If you don’t have a board where any additional storage options are enabled with the addition of an 11th gen chip, spring for a nice 10850-10900k or even the stock 10900 and enable the higher power limit in the bios. (F) options are also good. Hunt around and find one cheap. Game on in the meantime. Do a whole new build when you are ready to.
