As title says im planning to upgrade this pc i built in late 2019
I for sure want to upgrade my cpu and have come to the conclusion that a 5700x3d is my best bet for am4, but im also considering getting a 32gb ram kit and also a new cpu cooler. My main worry is clearance when it comes to purchasing a new cpu cooler, since theres already not much room for my current hyper 212 with it being so close to the ram and glass, so any suggestions for a similar sized cooler would be awesome.
And if anyone would be kind enough to enlighten me, is upgrading really as simple as updating the bios to the newest version and just replacing the new parts? or are there extra precautions i should take?
