I have a Dell XPS with a GTX 1080 in it and it's getting a bit dated. I would love to build a machine. I was thinking possibly amd, as it seems better value. I figured I'll keep my 4tb nvme drive and maybe the ram but I should probably buy everything else new.

Any recommendations or should I just mess around on pcpartpicker?

New gen cpu = new ram. You're not getting around it.

GPUs do get warm and so do CPUs but most are cooler than their previous generations. It's still good to go with a good cooling design for the system though.
