I've received so much great advice from you guys on here, seriously thank you. But I'm back again....

Current build


X570 Gaming edge wifi
Ryzen 7 3700X
Lian-Li 011 Dynamic
32GB Corsair Vengeance 3200
Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3070
Scythe Mugen 5 PCGH cooler
Corsair TX650M 650W 80 PLUS Gold Semi-Modular PSU

I've been advised to keep my motherboard as I won't be overclocking and apparently it's fine even with the upgraded parts. Please tell me if this is wrong though.

Upgrading the CPU to a 5900x
Keeping the RAM
Keeping the GPU
Cooler?
PSU? - Focus PX 850?

Can anyone see any issues with the upgrades? Any advice on a new cooler? Open to suggestions on a new PSU. No budget. Cheers
 
Thanks for the reply. The main reason for upgrading was a 5900x is £479, I have been offered £215 for my 3700x and I've just sold a PS2 game for £125 so I'd only need to put just over £100 towards it. I just wanna future proof it as much as possible but I'll have a look at the 5800x

Go for it .

Cooler your sythe should be good enough stick with it and check temps is what I would do.

Psu seasonic are solid units but this is great pricre for £95.
