Hello I'm relatively new to Pc hardware and what not so be gentle lol.

 

I recently bought a gaming rig from staples its the Acer's predator Orion 3000 

specs

 

CPU - intel's i5-9400F @2.9 max turbo @4.1

GPU - Nividia Geforce 1660ti gb

RAM 16 GB

 

Mother board - P03-600 DCH

 

Monitor Samsung 4k UHD *** sorry no model # atm***

 

My question is what would be the first goto upgrade for my rig was thinking i7-9700K or i9-9900k but then what cooling and PSU would I need this is where my PC IQ lacks atm. any help would be greatly appreciated

I cannot find specs on the power supply, you want to upgrade that as well. At 4k you want a better graphics card but I would wait for the release of the RTX 3070. The RTX 3080 will need a cpu upgrade as well, at which point you kind of building a new pc.
