With your OEM i5-9400F 6 core6 threads CPU you can go as high as the Core i9-9900 8 core 16 threads CPU as it has the same TPD of 65W as your OEM i5-9400F or if you go up to the i9-9900K it has a TPD of 95W as with the K you will need to improve your cooling, also and if you upgrade to the i9-9900S CPU especially that this CPU has a TPD of 127W you will need water coling for proper cooling of this CPU so that is where you are with the CPU. With upgrading the GPU your OEM PSU fitted to your N50-600 is OK as it has the RTX-2070 GPU and the PSU should be adequate for the new RTX-30xx range but check that out if you gofor the top of the range RTX-3090ti.

But and coming back to the GPU's as in today’s market(s) it largely depends on how rich your pockets are which is very sad! As the latter is your biggest guide to what you can upgrade to as GPU’s are like precious diamonds seeing that the markets and industry has allowed these “Miners” to swoop unbelievable amounts of numbers of GPU's that normal consumers don't buy and this has increased the prices of top end GPU's to a price that they are NOT worth due to a shortage of stock! Paying US $1500 for a lower end RTX-3060ti to a US $2500 plus for an RTX-3090ti is just downright ridiculous when these cards are not even worth half of that and are produced in a hurry with bad quality control, as allot of these cards (especially the top of the range cards) break down after their 1 year when their warranty expires they break down with all sorts of chip and components burning out and none of the manufacturers are prepared to fix them, as then you either throw the thing in the trash bin or you will have to find a very experienced tech that specialises in fixing GPU's especially when you have forked out US $2500 plus for a GPU. My advice to you is this; this is not a good time to upgrade and/or buy a NEW GPU especially if you have an RTX-2070 as you can use that GPU and wait until mid-2022 when Intel and AMD will have very affordable and high end cards and we won't be reliant on NVIDIA to govern the prices of GPU's!!!

Thanks alot for the long and detailed answer! It really means alot. So if i updated to a i9-9900 do i need anything else? Cooling, Power Anything?

Yes, you need better cooling for these higher performing CPU’s like the i9-9900K as its TPD is 95W to your i5-9400F of 65W which has 30%+ more heat and this is especially applicable for the i9-9900S that its TPD is 127W which is has 100% more heat than your i5-9400F. I suggest that you get a 230mm sealed water cooling (that is cheap) and can be fitted into your N50-600 (but measure your spaces as water cooling will require a few mods to fit into your case) and if not then get the Noctua NH-U9S series 95mm x 95mm black, which is a dry fan CPU cooler which will fit for sure and is one of the best dry CPU fans around as these are the best options for cooling of the higher temp CPU's

But for the i9-9900 without the s and k and all that... Do i need extra cooling?
