Motherboard and cpu upgrade

[ievapieva]

Hello!

I need help choosing the right components to upgrade my pc.

I’m looking to upgrade my cpu, I’m a video editor (and occasional gamer), so I’m looking to get an Intel Core I9-13900K.
I think if I get this, I will also need to buy a new motherboard - my current one is what I got 6 years ago - Asrock B450M PRO4.

I really don’t know which motherboard to get in order for all my pc components to be compatible. And also, do I need to get a new cpu cooler?

My other computer parts are:

Arctic Freezer 34 esports DUO CPU cooler
Corsair Vengeance LPX 32 GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4 - 3200 CL16
GeForce RTX 3060
Gigabyte AORUS P GM 750W power supply
Crucial MX500 2TB ssd
Toshiba 1TB SATA

And I also want to get a new case for all of this, I would really appreciate all of your expertise! Thanks!!

Dear ievapieva,

The i9-13900K will not work on a B450 mainboard, which is designed for AMD cpu's with socket AM4.
If you want to stay on the B450 mainboard i'd suggest looking at the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X.

But be aware, that you might need a BIOS update befor the CPU will work in your mainboard. I'd advise you to check the website of Asrock to see if you need an update.

The CPU cooler will do, but bare in mind that the CPU gets faster with better cooling, due to possible thermal throtteling. But you can always change the cooler at a later stage.
