I've been using my PC for four years now and I'd like to upgrade some components but would like some advice. I've included the build here.
I would be primarily gaming split pretty evenly between my 1440p 144Hz monitor and my 4K 120Hz TV. I'd like to maintain as close to the max FPS each device allows at 1440p as I can, although I wouldn't mind bumping it up to 4K on the TV if I had the hardware to do it. I also do a lot of emulation, so the CPU being top tier is pretty important. My total budget is around $1800.
I was thinking of going from the Ryzen 5 7600x to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D for the CPU and from the RTX 3060 to the RTX 5070 Ti for GPU. My first choice was the RTX 5080, but that's quite a bit more expensive so I'm not sure I want to spend the extra money even if it is still technically within budget. I'm pretty accustomed to NVIDIA's features at this point, so I'd like to stick with them for now on the GPU.
It would seem to me that if I only upgraded the GPU and CPU that everything else would still be fine? There doesn't seem to be any compatibility issues I can see, but I thought I'd ask those who would know better than me.
I'm a bit of a neophyte when it comes to building a PC, so how does what I've chosen sound? Any compelling reason to upgrade anything else in conjunction or change what I'm already thinking about? I know I could probably get different but somewhat comparable parts cheaper like the 7800X3D instead or going for AMD on the GPU but is there any real reason to do that if what I've already chosen is within my budget and looks good to me?
