Upgrading my Dell 8940

Daometh

Budget (including currency):
under 600$ (Im still a student, I dont have that much money to spare)

Country:
Canada (Québec)

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for:
Multimedia: SCSS, JS, PHP, After Effect, Premiere, Photoshop, Blender, Gaming

I Already have and will probably keep:
PROCESSOR 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11700 @ 2.50GHz
GRAPHICS CARD NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
(64GB) RAM 16GB 1Rx8 PC4 - 3200AA - UA3 - 11
WIFI Killer(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX1650i 160MHz Wireless Network Adapter (201NGW)
SSD NVMe PC SN730 NVMe WDC 1024GB

 

 

Alright, im going straight to the point.

My pc keeps closing on me while i work on it.(it stopped while i was writing this, and I only have 10 tabs open and no other program)
From what I've figured out it's a known issue from this pc that it has a tendency to overheat and dell being the way they are have everything inside proprietary.
so, now I'm kind of stuck having to buy new components.
I preferably want to future proof this so i don't have to touch it for a while after.

There is no way to replace just the cpu cooler?
