What are the best options for upgrading your PC components?
Are there any areas where you could enhance the components? I’m planning to upgrade my existing PC. I already have the case, power supply, graphics card, and storage. My current setup is an I9 10900K, which means I’ll need to upgrade the motherboard, RAM, and AIO. Any suggestions would be great! You can check out these links for the upgrades I’ve been researching:
Upgraded build!

Thanks in advance!
I'd just be upgrading from an I9 10900K and that comes with upgrading the motherboard, ram, and AIO! I wouldn't invest on the 13th/14th Gen Intel platforms after news of the processor degradation issue came to light. You're in the right frame to invest onto an AMD AM5 platform. If you're yet willing to take the gamble, then the only thing I'd change in the latter build is to get the FRAME 4000D and call it a day. Users are advised to stylize their threads with info asked of in this thread; *How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice* How to Ask for New Build or Upgrade Advice First off, respect where respect is due - this is an adaptation of the Animal's *How To Ask For New Build Advice* Sticky. I created this because there's a lot of posts nowadays asking for upgrade advice both on here and on the CPU forums, and I feel... forums. to help provide context and the community will chime in with worthwhile suggestions. Moved thread from Components section to Systems section.
Your PC is mainly used for general computing tasks, and you have 2 M.2 SSDs installed.
