What challenges are you facing right now? You're considering an upgrade because you want better performance. If you're focused on gaming, a GPU upgrade should provide the most significant improvement. What game resolution do you typically use?

Or alternatively, consider an 8-core CPU with double the RAM, excluding the SSD.
Parts List on newegg shows these options.
Relative to the i5-13400, the CPU upgrade offers only minor improvements in multi-core performance, though application-specific gains may vary.
A single-core advantage remains notable.
An X3D variant would be preferable, but AM5 seems more promising for future upgrades.

Unless they're open to checking the used market, they won't be able to find a significantly better GPU than their 3070 in their budget. If they're targeting 1080 - 1440p, a more efficient core setup would still be preferable.

I think the X-Power name is owned by Xigmatek.
