Im assuming you already have good form.
focus a lot on incline, decline and dumbbell press. Those will help your bench tremendously.

Cool. I have a pretty good incline, but why decline? just wondering...

Look up 5x5 stronglifts. It's a pretty good beginner program if you're looking to build strength reasonably quick.

I find alternating back and chest days helped my lifts a lot

Accessories. Proper rest. Nutrition. Good luck man!

I see a lot of people neglect this aspect when trying to bench more and that's forearms. You have to get your forearms stronger and that will increase your bench...

Focus on pause benching and do heavy sets from 1 - 5 reps.
Give this program a try, it's M/W/F (benching 3 times a week) skip friday if you are too tired or can't get that session in.
every rep you do is paused and it should do good.
33% x 10 (warm up)
56% x 10 (warm up)
79% x 5
86% x 3
91% x 1

Increase the frequency and weight. Put on loads that you can't do and need assistance with. Take your 1rm and tell your spotter you want help to 3.
