Do you just game or do you use your pc for work too ?

What is your budget ?

Mostly just gaming and I’m definitely not trying to spend to much but also it is my first time really upgrading my pc so I really wasn’t trying to get a new mobo new cpu would be easiest

9900k is your friend then i would try and find it used , would be a good upgrade and you be able to still use your current set , if you feel that you are bottlenecked somehow you can overclock , (note that the 9900k is better cooled with a water cooler since it gets hot really fast).
