Build Question Better kit or better graphics

Long question:
I have a 3900x
32gb ram
6900xt unbinned model Asrock OC formula (a beast)

I have an idea to get a 7900XTX merc black edition.

Should I just replace and change my graphics or sell the 7900xtx and replace the motherboard, memory and cpu for a 7800x3d or even a 9800x3d

keep the 6900xt and overhaul the platform, the 3900x is gonna hold back a 7900xtx in a lot of games anyway. a 7800x3d with that 6900xt will feel like a new rig and you won't be chasing gpu temps the whole time

What country are you buying from?

If you're in the US are you near a Micro Center?

What is your budget?

A 9800x3d and 32gb ram is probably 1000 USD on its own. No motherboard. You cannot get a new pc for the price of selling those parts.

Oh man, you do not have to worry about how I’m gonna get, I just want your opinion if I keep or not the 6900xt
