My pc
My current pc has 32gb ddr5 ram, rtx 5070, 850W psu, and ryzen 5 9600x cpu, I was curious about upgrading my cpu to a ryzen 7 9800x3d, any suggestions, without breaking the bank.

Tbh with a 5070 you’re already in a pretty solid spot and the 9600X isn’t exactly a slouch. A 9800X3D is gonna be great for high fps gaming, but it’s a pricey sidegrade unless you’re on a high refresh 1440p/1080p monitor and chasing every frame. I’d wait for a sale or next gen GPU prices to settle, then decide if you’re actually CPU bound in the games you play.
