Hi guys!

So my PC is around 6 years old, and recently I've been experiencing issues where I can't run some newer games without my PC crashing and shutting down, or lagging significantly. I believe this is due to the CPU overheating, and given my PC has been built for a while now, I think it is high time for an upgrade! (Also because I don't know how to repaste the thermal paste so might as well just get a new one haha)

The specs of my current PC are:
  1. i7-7700 3.6GHz
  2. ASUS ROG Strix B250G Gaming MATX
  3. 16GB Team Elite
  4. 16GB Team Elite
  5. Samsung 960EVO
  6. Toshiba 3TB SATA3
  7. Coolermaster V650F/650W 80+Gold
  8. 11GD5X ASUS GTX1080Ti Strix Gaming
  9. IN WIN 301 Black Edition Micro-ATX
  10. Thermaltake Riing 12RGB Radiator Fans x3

After some very brief research, I am thinking of changing the CPU to the i9-13900, and since my case is a Micro-ATX, to upgrade the motherboard to a B760M or B760G.

Of course, I need advice from all of y'all experts - 1) whether you think this upgrade and change is viable, or whether something is missing 2) are there any overheating issues, 3) would you just recommend I change the entire thing and build a new computer instead of a simple upgrade for whatever reason.

Thank you all in advance! :D

What will be the primary uses of your PC, if it includes gaming what is your monitor resolution, what is your budget and what country are you located?

Thanks for your reply!

1) It definitely includes gaming!

2) Monitor resolution is 144Hz and full HD, but I'm looking to get a second monitor soon.

3) Budget is flexible, I just want something more top of the line so it lasts longer and if I end up replacing other parts later down the line these parts are still strong and relevant.

4) Hong Kong :)

Part of your heating issue is your case. It has bad airflow.

I am trying to post an image of their response, but it seems Tom's Hardware is not allowing me to post or deeming it as spam. Is there any way I can show you an image?
