I think you are going to need a new mobo when you do an upgrade. The mobo socket you have for the 9th gen Intel CPU only fits the 8th and 9th gen. 10th gen went to the 1200 socket. You should have the 1151. Any upgrade on that CPU while keeping the mobo would be pretty small and probably not worth the money. I think the best you could do is the 9900k which, just looking at prices quickly, are more expensive than AMDs latest line of chips which absolutely crush it in performance. Just something to think about.
