You'd require a different motherboard to support the newest CPUs, which means a new CPU module, since the ASUS model is built into it. Standard CPU blocks work in various sockets with only hardware adjustments. GPU modules depend on the specific PCB design, so you must get a new block for any updated graphics card as their layout differs from older models.

the psu dates back to around 2014 but the branding was refreshed for newer models like 2025. some am4 mb boards include water cooling on the vrm while intel lga 1700 boards typically only have CPU blocks with water cooling. you might consider adding a m.2 block, a ram water block, or a diy solution such as a south bridge. there used to be mono blocks, but they’re now hard to find and often expensive. links provided for parts and reviews.
