Uncertain about the right area, I have a plan in mind so I’m unsure if my CPU might limit the GPU performance. It’s a newer model, which makes it hard to do quick research. Right now, I own an i5-13400F and am considering upgrading to a 3060Ti or 3070. My concern is whether this will cause any bottlenecks. Also, the same question applies for the previous generation i5-12400. Thanks.

13400 provides additional frames, yet choosing this model ensures high-quality images. 13400f is identical to the original chip.

The value of 12,600k depends on the context—different prices may make it more suitable for various options.

The 13400F is essentially a slightly slower 12600KF, so focusing on the 12600K should work fine for your research. Regarding "bottlenecking," it really depends on the specific games you're running, but I wouldn't expect a 12400F or 13400F to cause issues with those GPUs unless they're heavily CPU-intensive. Which games are you playing?

The 13400f is roughly 40-50€ cheaper than the 12600k nearby.

Got it, opt for the 13400f. You'll do just fine in those matches—no slowdowns expected.
