I'm looking to upgrade my 2020 PC build as it's feeling quite outdated. Currently, I have a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU, an Nvidia 3060 GPU, and 16GB of G.Skill Ripjaws RAM. I also wish to upgrade to Windows 11 since I'm stuck on Windows 10, and I'm having trouble enabling secure boot. My budget is around $1200. I'll be heading to Microcenter soon and would really appreciate any advice on the best components to upgrade, especially the motherboard, CPU, and RAM.

First, consider your budget and what you're hoping to achieve with these upgrades. What's prompting the need for a new motherboard and CPU? Are any specific games or programs not running well for you? That would help narrow down the options!
Right now, the main issue is that I'm stuck on Windows 10, and I can't seem to upgrade to Windows 11. Also, I want to play Battlefield 6, but I can't enable secure boot. My budget is about $1200.
