SiDev wrote That's one hell of a build you have currently. I can't believe you are having frame rate issues. I'm rocking 3rd gen ryzen 7 with a 2070 super with very little fps issues. Makes me wonder if there is something causing your issue. Granted, I don't play on max settings and my monitor is only 144hz.

240Hz is an entirely different beast than 144Hz.

OP - Good luck getting 240+ FPS in Warzone 2. The only real way to get a 'comfortable' 240+FPS in Warzone 2 would be with an i9-13900K and an RTX 4090.

So I guess a brand new system is the only way to go if you're determined to get as much FPS as possible and don't care how much money you burn(up to $6k CAD lol). That said, if it were me, I'd definitely just start with a GPU upgrade.

First of all, how old is that PSU? If it's more than a few years old, it may be worth just replacing it now. Then grab an RTX 4090 and see how you are from there. If you still find it's not enough, then you only really need to swap your mobo and CPU(13900k + Z790 DDR4 Mobo).. though you could go DDR5 if you want. If you're building from scratch, I would just go DDR5 regardless.

If you're building a system from scratch, then I'd look at something like this;
PCPartPicker Part List

CPU: Intel Core i9-13900K 3 GHz 24-Core Processor ($754.50 @ shopRBC)
CPU Cooler: ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 360 A-RGB 48.8 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($204.99 @ Memory Express)
Motherboard: Asus ROG STRIX Z790-A GAMING WIFI ATX LGA1700 Motherboard ($529.99 @ Canada Computers)
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory ($259.99 @ Canada Computers)
Storage: Western Digital Black SN850X 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive ($214.99 @ Newegg Canada)
Video Card: MSI SUPRIM LIQUID X GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB Video Card ($2549.00 @ Canada Computers)
Case: Fractal Design Pop XL Air ATX Full Tower Case ($184.98 @ Newegg Canada)
Custom: Corsair RM1000x Shift ($284.99)
Total: $4983.43

13900k and RTX 4090 are a no brainer. Grab whichever RTX 4090 you like the look of best. Motherboard is a bit expensive, but you have the budget so why not? If you want something cheaper, then look at Asus Prime or TUF Z790 boards lol. Gigabyte AORUS Elite AX(or whatever it's called) is a decent alternative but if you like Asus, buy Asus. I'd personally stick with Asus, either Strix or TUF line-up.

As for CPU cooler, that's going to be up to you. I've included a good AIO, but I'd personally be buying a high end air cooler. Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4 would be my choice, but there are plenty of decent air coolers. If you want an AIO, then the Liquid Freezer 2 is a really solid option, in either 280mm or 360mm form. If you don't like the look of it though, buy basically whichever 280mm or 360mm AIO you do like the look of. 360mm AIO will fit in the front of the Fractal Pop XL Air, 280mm will fit in front or up top. As for case, there are plenty of alternative options if you don't like the Pop XL Air, that's just what I'd probably buy if I was buying a new case right now lol.

For DDR5 RAM, you can find cheaper kits. 5600MHz CL40 are in the $170ish CAD region for non-RGB. However, this 6400MHz CL32 kit is a really nice sweet spot and is RGB. It will be noticeably faster than 5600MHz. 7000MHz+ @ CL34 would be your next step up, but you're looking at $350+ at that point for a less substantial improvement in performance.
With your budget though, you could go 7000+MHz if you really want. You could even go up to a 64GB kit if you want.

I've added 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD because why not? You could spend more money on something slightly more high end, like a Samsung 990 Pro but I don't think it's really worth the premium. The 2TB SN850X for that price is absolutely killer. Again though, with your budget, you could absolutely go with a 990 Pro if you want to. You could also add a bunch more storage if you want/need lol.
Either way, I would carry over the storage you're using from your current system unless you don't really need it.

The new Corsair RMx Shift PSU's are mega cool IMO. That's definitely what I'd be getting if buying a new PSU. The RM850x Shift would do you fine but you have the budget for the 1000W. If you'd rather get a more normal orientation/layout PSU, then the normal RM(x) PSU's are probably slightly cheaper than the Shift's so those would also be a good option.

You've also got plenty of money left here to put towards any peripherals, accessories, fans, etc that you might want to add. Or carry over any fans/accessories from your current system that you want to re-use.
