Quick Compatability Question
Hello all! I currently have a build but am looking to upgrade...
I already have the cooler, storages, power supply, and the case in a current build (specific parts are in the link). Can I buy the others and add them together for more power? Or is there an unforeseen compatibility issue (I already see the BIOS thing but that should just be an update right?) - not very tech savvy I greatly appreciate any help.

Basically looking to buy a new cpu, motherboard, memory, and graphics card - the rest I have. Would this mix be good or is the cooler/case/power outdated. Thank you so much.

The CPU is overpriced and last generation. The GPU is overpriced as well. The CPU cooler is too weak, you should replace it. The PSU could be a bit too weak for a 3080. You might have to lower the power limit on the GPU.
Get a 12600K, B660 and a 3080 12GB.
Example: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8hBw78
If you want an ATX motherboard, get the B660 Tomahawk.
If you don't like the MSI Ventus 3X GPU, you can get the MSI Gaming Z Trio for $60 more (not worth it imo).
Thank you! Greatly appreciated
