Beyond CPU and GPU upgrades, three often-overlooked components significantly impact gaming PC performance: faster RAM (especially at high frame rates where CPU becomes the bottleneck), NVMe SSDs over SATA drives (for better load times and asset streaming), and high-end AIO coolers (to sustain CPU boost clocks longer). For LGA1700 CPUs, a contact frame and quality thermal paste like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut can also help maintain thermal headroom. The key insight is that smooth, consistent gaming performance depends on how well all components work together, not just the CPU and GPU.
