Perhaps. But if I was going to throw money at it then I'd simply go buy the biggest baddest I could find. You know, with the computer equivalent of a volume that goes up to 11.
This year I have replaced both girls' PCs, the wife's and 2x S-i-L´s and I've simply thrown money at them. But for me the interest is upgrading or reusing what I have.
The graphics board is good enough [GTX 1650] and not old. Due to previous issues the power supply is both oversized [800w] and new. The disks are new and good [3x SSD and 3x 2TB HDD. And the cabinet is fine. The fan/heatsink is also newish and more than capable. The monitors are both new and 32". The PC is on the wired LAN and I have no need for it to be on WiFi. The printer is an ancient pile of cack, but who cares. The audio is separate, is 5.1 and certainly good enough for me.
I think simply changing the CPU won't get me much within the constraints of the existing Motherboard, so I´ll need a new motherboard also. And therefore RAM.
But just the three things, I think.
By all means tell me if you disagree, this really is not an area of expertise of mine and I am appreciating the thoughts, advice and help.
