I currently have a 1660 gpu. I do not currently have the money for a full cpu & gpu upgrade but it seems my cpu is struggling the most so I am wanting to upgrade from my i5-9600k. I prefer intel due to being familiar with it. If I need to upgrade other aspects, that is possible but preferably under $400

Current setup: GPU: 1660 CPU: i5-9600k 16GB ram 500W PSU Honestly no idea what my MOBO is but system summary says Gigabyte H310M H.

I have a 144hz monitor, wanting a second that is 60hz or 144hz just for google chrome and spotify stuff so possibly a cpu that can handle that.

I currently play highly modded minecraft (200+ mods) and FPS games

What would be the best CPU upgrade for this setup without changing anything else? Would you recommend something else being upgraded over the CPU?
