I'm looking to upgrade my gaming setup for optimal performance in heavy triple A titles. Currently, I have a Zotac GeForce RTX 3060 Ti TWIN EDGE OC with 8GB GDDR6, an 850W PSU, a Samsung 980 Pro SSD, and a 1080p 165 Hz monitor. I'm planning to upgrade from my Intel Core i7-9700KF CPU, Z390-H Gaming motherboard, and 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 RAM. What would be the best CPU, RAM, and motherboard combination for my setup?

You might want to keep your budget in mind when selecting these parts. If you're looking to stay around CAD$1000, you could also consider the Intel i5-13600K with a compatible motherboard and 32GB DDR4 RAM, which should still give great performance without breaking the bank.
For your gaming needs, I'd recommend the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with a B850 motherboard and 32GB of DDR5 RAM at 6000 MHz CL30. This combination will provide you with fantastic performance for triple A titles at 1080p.
That combo sounds solid! Just make sure your PSU can handle the new components. Also, is it necessary to go with DDR5 if I need to stick to a budget?
True, that's a good way to save without sacrificing too much power. Just remember to check compatibility before you buy!
