I'm looking for advice on upgrading my gaming PC. Right now, I have a Z390 Pro WiFi Asus motherboard paired with a GeForce RTX 3080 Suprim X GPU and 32GB of 3000MHz RAM. My CPU is an Intel i7-8700K, which feels a bit outdated. I'm currently using a Kingston SSD, but I plan to switch to an NVMe drive soon. I also have a Kolink Aviator M RGB case. What should be my top priority for upgrades?

You should definitely consider upgrading your CPU first since the i7-8700K is from 2017, which is quite old in terms of performance. I recommend looking into the AMD Ryzen 5700X or 5800X, paired with a B550 motherboard. This should give you a nice boost in gaming performance. If you're leaning towards Intel, the 14600 or 13600 are solid options, just make sure to choose a DDR4 motherboard to keep your RAM.
