Hey there! I own an Omen 25L and I've made a few upgrades over the years—specifically, I added an RTX 3060 graphics card and a 750 Watt power supply. However, the rest of my setup is still stock, and I'm looking to upgrade my Intel i5-10400 CPU and motherboard to something that can really unleash the full potential of my GPU. I'm also planning to replace the case while I'm at it. I've got a budget of around $500, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

What CPU do you currently have? Knowing that can help identify if you're really bottlenecking your GPU. If you're on an i5-10400, it's decent but might hold you back in demanding games. For an upgrade, you might want to look at something like a Ryzen 5 5600X or an Intel i7-10700. As for the motherboard, make sure it’s compatible with your new CPU. And don’t forget about your cooling solution!
Yeah, that's a good point! If you're moving to something more powerful, you might also want to think about a better cooling setup, especially if you plan to overclock.
