Hi I am trying to figure out either should I upgrade my Current PC, because I purchased a new Ryzen 7 9800x3d Chip, or should I just build a new PC (In Signature is my current build)

Here is what my current computer is using a
i9 9900KS - CPU
Asus ROG STRIX GAMING OC GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER - Video Card
Asus ROG Maximus Xi HERO (Wi-Fi) ATX LGA1151 - MOBO
G.Skill Trident Z RGB 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 - RAM
Corsair RM850x (2021) 850 W 80+ - PSU

Here is the Current Pc Part Picker of my current system
Current Build - Nov 14 2024

This current PC I am on was my first PC I ever built and I have to say it has been really good. I had to just replace my Video card since my 2080 TI died and so I have been looking to upgrade or potential build a new pc. I think I can use the m.2 Storages on my current system for the new 9800x3d But I do believe I would have to replace the PSU, CPU, Ram, and MOBO. I wouldn't be against replacing the Case either but I would want a Mid Tower case with no Transparent sides and with a lot of room for airflow.

It would be nice to save money by reusing the parts I already got but I do know for a fact I need to replace the Motherboard for the new chip.

Any ideas? I am open to any conversations and I got some time since my chip won't be coming in til January 2025 but I wanted to see what I could put together. My main use for my PC is gaming/talking on Discord/Streaming through Discord and also I just do general computing.

Thank you for your time. I put together a parts idea below as to maybe what I am thinking on building.

I am looking into building potentially this

CPU/Motherboard/RAM should be all that is needed to change here.

PSU is enough and not old yet, no reason to swap it out. I have the 2016 model and it is still working.

I should add you may need to get the AM5 mounting kit for your cooler. You can request one from Noctua for free. They also sell them on Amazon and other etailers if you want it faster. Since you have the time, having one sent to you is the way to go.

I was looking into replacing the cooler as well for the Deepcool AK500 DIGITAL 68.99 CFM CPU Cooler but I would have to see if my Noctura NH15 Came with an AMD Mount in the box which I am pretty sure it did.

My current system has two intake fans and two exhaust fans on top of the fans on GPU and the PSU Fan because I was always worried about heat. Currently when I am playing some games like The First Descendant on Steam I would notice my current i9 9900Ks would be running CPU Temperature of 97-100% since I replaced my 2080 ti with the new 4070 Ti Super so I wanted to make sure it was getting efficent cooling.

My friends tell me it is fine that some games will be running your CPU hard over GPU but I am still kind of learning.

399 is a bit much, I would certainly review the motherboard features to see what you really need.

Some decent X870 boards out there. E boards have dual chipsets for a lot of I/O, but if you are just going with GPU and some M.2 drives you can save a lot of money.

Any recommendations on motherboards?

I don't mind spending a little bit more for an more up to date board with potential of adding a 5090 when they come out. I know I would need to get a 1200 PSU if I went that route which I will go if I end up pulling the trigger when the 5090 comes out but I think I won't do that for awhile. Also seeking x3 m.2 Slots on mobo and I definatly want to avoid Gigabyte since I keep hearing nothing but terrible things from those boards.

So right now looks like I am replacing Mobo/RAM for sure.
