Budget (including currency): $500 - $750 USD

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mainly gaming (FPS and newer single players i.e. MW2, Hogwarts Legacy, etc.) Some rendering for photo merging in Lightroom

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc.): 

Currently have 8700k build, 32GB 3600 DDR4, M.2 SSD, 2TB HDD, 3080Ti, 750w 80+ Plat PSU, 3440x1440 144Hz Monitor. Looking to get the most out of my system and want to get to a new platform. I am not partial to AMD or Intel but would like to stay on Windows 10 for now and not upgrade. Only concerns I have with an upgrade is a potential PSU upgrade and would like to keep my optical audio connector as I use that on my separate DAC/AMP stack.
