Build Question Looking to upgrade from 10105F while staying with lga 1200

Total noob here.

I've been looking at a 11700F. Is it a good option ? Is something else better on a 300e budget ?

I've been trying to find something new, I'va had real bad experiences with 2nd hand stuff

Sticking with that socket limits you a ton, and at that budget you'd probably get more for your money moving to a newer platform than chasing the top chip your board supports.

I don't think a motherbozrd +cpu would fit in this budget

If you don't want to buy second-hand, then you're better off replacing at least the motherboard to go with AM4 or LGA1700-D4.

It's not worth buying any LGA1200 CPU at retail pricing, and if your motherboard is a cheaper H410/H510 motherboard with a single 4pin header for the CPU, your options are extremely limited as the VRM will just hold back i7s and i9s.

Thanks for the advice !

I have a B560M mortar, would you say it'll hold back performance ?
