I'm currently maybe looking to upgrade my Motherboard and CPU

I've got a Fractal Define R5 Mid Tower Case and would want to use air cooling on the CPU so keep that in mind

Current specs is a Aorus Z390 with an i9-9900k
RAM Crucial Ballistix 3600 DDR4 CL16 64GB (32GB x 2)
and a 3070ti with a 850 WATT PSU

I'm mainly using the PC for Photoshop/Illustrator/Rendering videos and I like to play games at completely maxed out settings as stable above 30 FPS as I can get.
