Current build: R7 3700x 32gb ram MSI x370 pro carbon 3080 12gb I can get a 5800x3d for £290, or hold out a while and get new mobo (MSI pro b650-S), Corsair vengeance 32gb ddr5 6600mhz ram, and the 7800x3d for £600. Just looking for opinions on what would be optimal, if the 5800x3d is worth it for me or no and if Am5/ddr5 is reliable enough now? I mainly play star citizen, RuneScape & whatever new games take my fancy. Thankyou for any feedback!

I’d prefer to see what kind of games you intend to play. High-performance 1080p titles will likely gain more from a stronger CPU than graphics-intensive options, especially if you aim for 1440p or 4K. Right now, 5800X3D seems to offer solid enough performance for most games.

I logged the games I'm playing, mostly Star Citizen. I lost my monitor! I use a 1440p ultra wide display and sometimes have RuneScape open on my second screen at the same time.

1440p will still push most GPUs to their limits. Upgrading to a 5800X3D seems reasonable, and the savings from a 7000-series CPU could easily fund a 7900XT, 4080, or 7900XTX in the future. Your motherboard appears capable of handling the heat from the CPU—just ensure it receives a BIOS update.
