You would only consider upgrade psu if you upgrade to a higher power gpu.
For gaming pc upgrade it is almost always to upgrade gpu first before cpu imo.
4070 Ti super is >100% faster than 4060.
no cpu upgrade can achieve similar magnitude.
also,
R14 cpu upgrade is limited by AM4 socket.

Start with 32GB (2x16GB) of RAM. Liquid cool your processor. Upgrade the PSU, which unfortunately is proprietary. Then think about a better graphics card.
