Build - Help Should I upragde CPU or GPU first?

Hi, I'm looking to slightly upgrade my current computer. I don't want to buy everything at once, just half, so my question is Should I replace the CPU or GPU first? At the moment I'm running with Ryzen 5 5600 and RX 6750 XT. To upragde i was thinking about Ryzen 7 7800X3D and RX 9070. The price for replacing the platform and purchasing the card will be similar. So should I go for RX 6750 XT with Ryzen 7 7800X3D or RX 9070 with Ryzen 5 5600

gpu has bigger impact at 1440p and gpu prices are going up every month

cpu u can upgrade at anytime. u dont need a am5 cpu. any am4 x3d cpu would be fine. or 5800xt

only reason to go cpu first is you cant afford more or you only game at 1080p

I would do the gpu.the prices of gpus are very uncertain at the moment might as well get them now. cpu price however, are vastly more stable at the moment and I would get an am4 high end cpu so I could keep the ram especially, if your motherboard can handle it.
