I own an HP Omen 35L equipped with a Ryzen 5 8400F, and I'm looking to upgrade my CPU for better gaming performance, as well as for my 3D modeling and printing tasks. My setup includes a 5060 graphics card and a Wolfang motherboard. I'm not sure which CPU would be a suitable upgrade, especially since I believe I may need to install a liquid cooling system as well. I apologize if this question sounds ignorant; it's my first time dealing with a new PC in around 15 years!

Be cautious about your motherboard—it might only support CPUs from that same generation as your Ryzen 5 8400F, which could limit your upgrade options. Double-check the specs for compatibility before making any decisions. Consider reaching out to the manufacturer or looking for motherboard specifications online to avoid any issues!
I hear you—I was also checking out the Asus ROG 700, but I'm having trouble identifying the exact board. From what I've seen, the one I'm interested in is similar to yours but comes with liquid cooling and has an Intel i5 Ultra.
