I’m trying to figure out a good CPU upgrade for my PC. I currently run an i7-9700K that I’ve had for a while with a 2080 super and 32gb of ram. Despite what I’ve read online I tend to run into some bottle neck issues sometimes where my CPU is maxing out and my GPU just kinda chills out. I have a 1920 x 1080 monitor and like to try and get higher frames around 165.

I know a lot of the bottle neck calculators online are just wack so I wanted to ask around here and see if what I’m looking at is a good idea. I’m thinking of upgrading to an i9-11900K because I think that anything “stronger” might be too much for the 2080 super (which I could be totally wrong about) and because I found one for a decentish deal. Please let me know some advice and thoughts on this I’m genuinely curious to learn more regarding this.
