Wanna start by saying I’m confident knowing my way around a pc, but am definitely not a professional nor the most clued up person on components at all so please forgive any stupid errors or oversights here and inform me on what I’m doing wrong.

Current system: i9 9900k, rtx 4060ti, gigabyte gaming x z390, hyperx (16x2)gb ddr4 unknown mhz

Proposed upgrade: ryzen 9 7900x, rtx 4060ti (kept), b650m aorus elite ax, corsair vengeance (16x2)gb ddr5 6000mhz.

I am wanting to do a large upgrade, thinking I can sell the components that I’m swapping out to at least cover a little of the cost. Does this build make sense? I’m trying to avoid a potential bottleneck, I’m well aware that 4060ti is not great as a price to performance ratio, however it was a gift and isn’t exactly bad so should be sufficient right?

P.s: I’m also running an nzxt kraken z63 aio, however I lost the amd mounting bracket as I installed it ages ago, if I am going to make this upgrade does anyone know if it is possible to get a replacement for the bracket and corresponding screws?

Thanks for reading :) any help would be greatly appreciated!!
