Current setup includes an i5 9400f with GTX 1660 Ti, 16GB RAM, a 92mm fan, and an inexpensive CPU cooler from Intel.

No, you're missing the results you expect.

Occasionally I experience frame rate drops in cyberpunk, cod Cold War, and Blender while the system runs smoothly. I also mentioned the RAM is 2666 MB and the SSD is a 256 GB NVMe drive.

It seems like upgrading your CPU could be a smart move. I noticed some i7 options around $200 recently, which looks like a solid value for the 9700 or 8700 chipsets. However, prices can vary by region. Are you building a gaming PC from scratch or using an existing system?

This setup is typical for a 6-core processor without hyperthreading. Upgrading to an i7 would help. Performance drops are normal across most PCs. It's a bit sluggish, but shouldn't cause major issues

Only a single reviewer mentions FPS drops. You need better airflow. The standard cooler or any cooler will struggle if it pulls in hot air. Your RAM speed matches your CPU's needs.

I could possibly order a fresh board for AM4 and receive either a 3700x or 3800x Bc. I’ve been wanting to upgrade but they’ve never been available. So I guess I’ll likely end up with a decent cooler Master model instead. Thanks for your assistance!
