I'm currently using an Alienware Aurora R9 with an Intel i7-9700, an RTX 5060, 16GB of RAM, a 1TB NVMe SSD, a 650-watt power supply, and water cooling. I'm wondering if I should upgrade some parts or just start from scratch. I feel like the only CPU upgrade option is to the i9-9900K, but I'm not sure if it's worth it. What do you think?

Before considering an upgrade, think about why you want one. If your CPU is bottlenecking performance during CPU-intensive games like Fortnite, then it might be worth looking into alternatives.
If you come across a great deal on a new GPU, I say go for it! Just keep in mind you'll likely need a more powerful PSU. But honestly, your setup is solid for the next couple of years, so waiting might be your best option.
Right now isn’t the best time to do a new build. RAM and GPU prices are pretty high, so if your current setup meets your needs, sticking with it might be the way to go.
