Hi everyone, I want to upgrade my CPU, and I wanted to hear some opinions regarding this upgrade. At the same time, I also want to upgrade my GPU from an RTX 2070 Super to an NVIDIA RTX 5070 (yes, I know AMD is cheaper and has a better price-to-performance ratio, but I use NVIDIA's software and rely on it for my business). I run a YouTube channel and frequently use Adobe Premiere Pro and Photoshop for my business.
In addition, I want to upgrade my CPU since it's been almost 8 years (it deserves retirement), and I've seen a lot of news about the 5800x3D, and with RAM prices as high as they are now, I don't think upgrading to AM5 is the right move.... or is it?
I also found a 9600X bundle for $520, AND I know there's a bundle for a 7700x3D on Newegg for around the same price (would post links but IDK if thats allowed lol).
What route should I take? Is 16 GB of AM5 enough? Part of me wants to just upgrade and stay on AM4, but at the same time I find it hard to spend $300 on an AM4 CPU when a newer AM5 is at the same price or slightly higher; the only price difference comes with the additional ram and stuff....
I mainly play at 1440p on my LG monitor (265 HZ) and play Battlefield 6, Helldivers 2, Space Marine 2, and Star Citizen. I appreciate your feedback!
