I've been mainly focusing on ryzen lately because AMD seems to be the one actually giving an upgrade path since it feels like intel uses a new socket every 5 minutes. I keep remembering things that I'm not actually mentioning , but I would use it for gaming AND workstation workloads like Fusion 360, and simulations. Basically engineering things. What would be the platform to go to in terms of like costs on motherboards? I know I'm going to need to go a new mobo any way I go, would intel or AMD be cheaper? Not going for lower end boards, made that mistake with the H310, that board was awful.

I'm mostly looking for CPU under $400, though I'm not familiar with modern CPU pricing. I would like at least 8 cores. Forgot to mention that

Been rocking 9th gen for... awhile now and I've been pretty happy with it. Specifically an i7 9700k. I also just got a new RX 6700XT (still in the mail, come on UPS hurry up), and the more I use my new framework it's showing that my desktop's CPU is a bit lacking. Don't get me wrong, it works, but it's not quick. Not quite ready for an upgrade, but I'm wondering what would be a good upgrade from this? Been considering finding a used i9-9900K, but that'll be the end of the road for me because... well the Z390 won't go higher than 9th gen. I'm looking for something with a decent upgrade path. I have a preference towards AMD, but honestly I'll go either way.

I just made a build that contains the most expensive parts. It totals to about $69,000 (USD). No reason, just kinda for fun. This does include things like monitors, keyboard, ect.

I forgot to mention this but I would like to lean away from used hardware (mostly because of mining and scams) and more towards what is on Newegg and amazon new. So far tho, I’m looking at either a rx580 or a rx590. Mostly the 590 cause it looks like a lot of performance for the money.

I'll try but any other suggestions is appreciated

If I am mistaken, correct me but I couldn't find a new rtx 2060 under 200

I need a new graphics card cause I currently am running on a 1050ti. I don't have a preference if it's AMD or Nvidia.

Looking at the 9600k, on amazon right now it is on sale for $199 so probably gonna get that.

An Intel Core i3-8100

I have a ASUS Prime H310M-K. It was cheap and it looked like a good motherboard at the time.

I can't really afford to get another motherboard. I don't really have the time or money.

I need a 9th gen Intel CPU (preferably i5) for under $200 (US dollar). Any suggestions?
