Honestly, there isn't a ton of places I would genuinely tell you to GO OUT AND BUY THIS RIGHT NOW - you have a very solid build. You could move up to an i9-10900k if you really wanted to just throw away some money, but that 10700kf is a great CPU and being a KF model, it'd take to an overclock very well to boot.

The elephant in the room comes in that 11th gen Intel exists - and the general consensus is that you probably would be wasting your money there. Furthermore, even in stepping up to PCIe 4.0, the reality of the situation is that you're likely going to have a Hell of a time even trying to saturate PCIe 3.0.

While I understand your desire for parts, I have to say, particularly given the status of the market, now is really a bad time to do such things, especially when a build like that will absolutely dust 95% of builds in existence.

Maybe add more RGB. Make the build something you enjoy more. Get a new monitor, get some new peripherals... But do I think you're gonna see much in performance gains from an upgrade? Probably not in gaming without spending thousands of dollars, and even then, whereas you have a 3070, the gains will not justify the expense.

whats your storage like, that could be something to upgrade, getting a m.2 as a boot drive may be your next step if you are currently using a 2.5" as your boot device. Also are you running the stock 10700kf cooler or some aftermarket one?

samsung 970 plus

There isn't much information here. What case are you in? Cooling? How's your storage? z490 is very broad, which z490? What do you use the PC for? What power supply are you running?

Details, my friend.

Happy to help.

A logitech g413 keyboard romer g switches and a razer mamba wireless

For the keyboard like the apex pro, apex 7 razer huntsman. However I would recommend building your custom keyboard

Your mouse is pretty good but you could always get like a G PRO or something

Also what headset and mic you got becuase your pc is doing fine in my opininon

The keyboard OP has is great, no reason to switch it out.

But like custom keyboards are nice but pricy however in my opinion worth it

I know, but you suggested 2 more keyboards.

A custom keyboard will almost always beat any keyboard you buy, as long as it has nice switches, but you miss out on a few features sometimes. Like most custom boards dont have RGB.
