PC is now 5 years old. Was high tier when I built it, now it's started to blue screen on me frequently and just feels dated


Old Build:

Intel i5 6600K
GTX 970
4GB DDR
Asus motherboard
250G SSD
Fan cooled


I'm looking at a pre-built that is:

Intel i9 9900k
RTX 2080 Super
16GB DDR4
1TB SSD
Liquid cooled
Intel Z390 motherboard



Do you think this is a solid enough improvement for a $2500 price tag, or should I be looking to change some of the above items. Any advice helps

This. If you don't have 16 GB of system memory, would also recommend upgrading to that.

You could build that rig for 500 USD less easily.
