The motherboard is a Z690, you could upgrade the motherboard to any mATX or ATX board - so 13th gen processors and beyond, Power supply can be upgraded, so can the GPU to a RTX 4090 and beyond, ram can be upgraded but this board only supports up to 4400mhz JDEC ram but if you change the board then you get your XMP ram overclocking.

so that means i can get any 13th gen processors and and the GPU can go up all the way up to the 4090 and it will work with the motherboard i have inside of it and also could you give me a link to the ram you are using in the CPU cooler also the fans if you don't mind me asking and that would be a lot of help if you could and thanks for the information really helps out a lot

Sure buddy that's absolutely no problem.
So just some further clarification - 13th gen is the newest processors but the 12th gen processors we currently have will handle the RTX 4090 - the reason i mention that card is because there's certain prerequisite or conditions for that to work, but get it ready for that and your system will handle any card, use the motherboard change option as the nuclear, as you might be aware it's not always the case excuse the pun to have a prebuilt manufacturer case which allows motherboard changes namely Dell and their Alienware division.
For a RTX 4090 a minimum of 1000w is recommended on the PSU , can't cheap out on it either because regardless of wattage a bad power supply can potentially take out system components and fry them, here's the one i'm using , it's a ASUS ROG THOR 1200W :
RAM is predator branded with rgb - it doesn't need to be but i liked the look of it, it goes up to 5200mhz it has xmp 3.0 but with your current motherboard you won't get it and at the moment its doubtful ACER will provide a bios update.
AIO cooler is very nice upgrades the 120mm aio to a 240mm , you could go for a cheaper one, but i like the screen information to see the system temps , you can also change the background or play a custom animation on it.
I changed the asus AIO fans for ACER ARGB frostblades
and if you decide get any of these and need any help with installation, just find me on here.

To be honest 32GB is more then enough for gaming , 64GB is only really needed in certain use cases, like for example video editing even then i'd say 32GB will be sufficient and only if you find the system using all the ram resources is it worth upgrading - also with 2 sticks you'll get 4400mhz and with 4 you'll get 4000mhz - so if you do decide to go for 64GB do it with 2 sticks of 32gb rather then 4 sticks of 16gb.
cheers dude.
