I posted before about upgrading my current build:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670 3.4 GHz Quad-Core Processor ($375.27 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR3-1600 CL10 Memory ($62.99 @ Newegg)

My parts are old and people told me to get a new PC and Keep my old GPU and upgrade that later.
Here is an idea for a new build :

5900X is a good processor, but at half the price, a i5-12600K will do better.
