What's your budget, what country are you located and what is your current monitor resolution?

1000
USA
1920 x 1080. But I think I am going to upgrade the monitors as well. That won't be part of the 1000 PC budget

Either of these boards + cpu coolers will allow you to run those cpu's with the power limits turned off in the bios. It's a round a bout way of OC those chips.

Review of that cpu. Look for Core i5 11400F + Opt on the benchmarks.

I am upgrading as well. My first move was the GPU, since they are so hard to get, i wasnt going to spend all sorts of money on all the other parts just to have them sitting around until i got the GPU. Luckily i got the card i wanted, and am now going to move on to getting the rest, but the next one after GPU for me is the CPU/MOBO and then the case, or vice versa.
