Hey everyone! I've been experiencing some minor freezing while using my PC and just realized that my CPU is maxing out at 100%. I have a decent video card, so I'm wondering what upgrades would make the most sense for me. Would it be better to replace my CPU, get a new motherboard, or do both? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Here's my current build for reference: [PCPartPicker Part List](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/mCcQRV)

It sounds like it's time for a new motherboard and RAM. The i7-9700K is pretty solid, but you might want to look into the i9-9900K if you're considering an upgrade. Just a heads up though, the RAM you have listed won't work with the Z390 Taichi motherboard since it's not compatible with SODIMM modules.
Thanks for pointing that out! I didn’t pay close attention when using the part picker.
