im not entirely satisfied with the performance in houdini both the simulation and rendering times suck.

I googled houdini and it seems like it benefits from a good CPU with multiple cores.
So you could upgrade to an i7.

The i7 9700 is compatible with your motherboards CPU socket.
In germany it costs 277,96 Euro, which are 408,21 CAD.

i was thinking of upgrading my pc for around $300 CAD i was wondering what component(s) i should upgrade i have a rtx 2070 and an i5 9400 with an asrock mainboard 

What makes you think, you should upgrade your PC?
Don't you like your PC case anymore or is there something, you cant do, which you would like to do with your current PC?

(As you can see down below, my build also contains a RTX 2070 and an Intel 9000 series CPU and I'm pretty happy about it and how quiet it is. Perfect for 1440p gaming.)

My build:

CPU

Intel Core i7 9700 8x 3.00GHz So.1151

 

CPU cooler

be quiet! Shadow Rock Slim

 

Motherboard

MSI B360-A PRO Intel B360 So.1151 Dual Channel DDR4 ATX

 

RAM

16GB (4x 4096MB) HyperX FURY black DDR4-2666

 

GPU

8GB Gigabyte GeForce RTX2070 WindForce 2X 3xDP/HDMI

 

SSD

500GB Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 2280

 

HDD

4000GB WD Red WD40EFRX Intellipower 64MB 3.5" (8.9cm) SATA 6Gb/s

 

Power Supply

bequiet! Straight Power 750W Platinum

 

Case
