My old PC have:

Graphic card: Galax 1050 ti
RAM: 32GB Team Elite (2400mhz)
PSU: coolermaster lite 600W
SSD: 1TB AData

I want to upgrade the PC for CPU, motherboard and graphic card. I just confuse to choose which one is better:
CPU: i7 10700k or i9 10900
Motherboard: ROG Strix Z490-f or ROG Strix B-460f
VGA card: Zotac 3060 ti or asus TUF 3060ti

Please kindly for your advice.

Sorry for bad english and i'm newbie for this forum. Thanks.

You can upgrade the CPU to an i7 7th gen and that should be a pretty big boost to Lumion for a lot cheaper than a full system swap. Prices for the newer video cards are not very good now. An i7-7700 has just about exactly double the CPU Mark score than an i3-7100 you should be able to find one for about 200 used around you. For Video card speeds with rendering, again a used 1070 should be a good boost if you want that, again should be in the $200 range if you look a bit. I bought mine for $180 but that was before the video card shortage and price hikes by scalpers.

For a full swap, the i9 stock speeds is about 10% faster than an i7.

PSU, if it's a few years old may be a good idea to change, CoolerMaster does not have a lot of quality units. RAM should be fine to carry over considering the small change in speeds you will see with faster RAM.

If you are talking about the XPG Core like this one https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/xpg-core-reactor-650w-power-supply-review then yes it's a good model
