Question Advice on PC component upgrades?

[bmcconkey8]

Is there anywhere I could improve the selected parts? I'm looking to upgrade my current PC. I already have the case, psu, gpu, storage. I'd just be upgrading from an I9 10900K and that comes with upgrading the motherboard, ram, and AIO! So any advice would be appreciated! Here is the link to the upgrades i've been looking into!

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.

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...
