Question Should I upgrade my pc or keep my current setup?

[RedNinjaBull]

Hi guys!

I want to upgrade my pc because most of the components I have are pretty dated already (except for my 4070). I've been looking at upgrading to the following:
- i5 12600kf
-MSI MAG Tomahawk Z790 Plus Wifi
- 32gb DDR5 T-Force Delta RGB Ram
- 1tb Crucial NVME SSD

These upgrades alone will cost me around $440 minimum (if I buy some used components) but I've also been trying to save up for a nicer daily driver. I could use the old components in another pc and sell that, but I'm unsure how much I'd get for that and if it would make a difference financially. I only have about $3000 saved. The reason I want to upgrade the rest of my setup is due to the bottleneck my 4070 poses to the rest of my system.

My current setup is the following:
- i5 10400f
- MSI MPG Z490 Gaming Plus
- 32gb DDR4 XLR8 RGB Ram
-RTX 4070 12GB DDR6X
-1tb Crucial SATA SSD
- 500gb SP Hynix NVME SSD gen 3
- Corsair rm750x PSU

Corsair rm750x PSU
How old is the PSU in your build?

The only thing I'd change in your parts list would be to get an i7 instead of an i5. To add, I'd look at a non-F SKU since an iGPU is invaluable when you need to troubleshoot display related issues.

How are you cooling your processor? Make and model of your case? Got a link to the ram kit you're looking at?

The PSU is about 5 years old

The cooler I currently use is a cooler master hyper 212 black and the new one I'm looking at is similar, but has the proper bracket for LGA 1700.

My case is a NZXT h5 flow RGB

Here's a link to the ram I'm looking at: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BRQ21XK1/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=AWD7GDDT7Q2ZT&psc=1
