My current specs are 7950x cpu, 96gb 6000 mhz ram and a rtx 4090. Would a buying a p40 make bigger models run noticbly faster? If it does is there anything I should know about buying p40's? Like do they take normal connectors or anything like that. I'm pretty sure I'll have to buy a cooler for it but idk what else.

The P40 is about as cost effective as it gets. But it's a bit of work to get it working. Also keep in mind that air cooling a P40 is either ineffective or extremely loud.
