your CPU is fine, going to a 2080 or 2080ti would give you a big jump in performance. Also your RAM configuration is not optimal as it's currently running in single channel at the moment. you could get a 16gb (8x2) or try to get another single 16gb stick like the one you have. RAM is better bought in matching kits, so if i were you i'd sell your current RAM and get a new 16gb 3200 or better (8x2 kit) so you can run it in dual channel. 32gb of RAM won't help your gaming performance much right now so it isn't really needed. good luck

Sure. You can upgrade it.

I think you're mis-reading it. The OP has one 4x4GB kit of DDR4-2666 RAM.

Aye, it's 4X4. Will my motherboard handle 3200 or higher memory? The reason I want 32 Gigs is that I tend to play Star Citizen a lot and it is by no means optimized yet, 16 will do it but 32 is known to be better in that (alpha) game.

Also, will my motherboard and CPU cooler handle say a Intel® Core™ i9-10920X Processor (12x 3.50 GHz /19.25MB L3 Cache)?

Finally, it sounds like this 600W supply will probably need to be upgraded as well huh.

DDR4-3200 is listed in the specs for your motherboard, so it should handle it. May have to enable XMP.
Going from a 140 watt processor to a 165 watt processor may prove too much for your current cooling system. I'd stress test it and monitor temps, but be ready to purchase a new cooler as well.
Higher power graphics card (180w to 215w) and a higher power processor (140w to 165w)... a better power supply would seem prudent.

Roger that. Ok so that this point I am looking at new ram, CPU, power supply, GPU and possibly cooler. I think that's falling into the, it might just be time for a new PC territory as there really won't be much left. Decisions to make, thank you very much for your help.
