GPU setup seems solid with the 3080 gaming trio Z. It arrived when it was released. CPU upgrade from 3.4 to 4.5 with 5.4 GHz and DDR4 3000 MHz RAM sounds promising. Moving to DDR5 6000 MHz seems like a reasonable step. The 8000 and 9000 series don’t seem worth the extra cost right now. I recall that a 7800X3D would be ideal, but I’m already dealing with issues—upgrading from AM4 to AM5 will require replacing all three components. Also, I’ve heard the 7000 model gets quite hot, around 95°C. It’s been hot during summer, so I’m wondering if my Deepcool Catle 360RGB v2 can handle it.
Are you happy with your PC's performance right now? If yes, skip upgrading. That was my take, but according to TPU, it can be about 7% faster on average. However, results vary—some games might see a 1-2 FPS difference, while others could be much higher or lower. If you really want to upgrade, the 7700 non-X model is a good choice; it’s almost no slower and often more affordable. Also, keep in mind the CPUs get hot but not constantly at maximum temperature—they handle up to 95°C without issues, though they’re better with good cooling. The AIO should work fine if it’s in decent shape, but I can’t guarantee you won’t need a heatsink just yet.
Could be a 32-inch monitor first. I didn’t realize IPS was so affordable back then, and I own an AOC model with 24/144Hz. The brackets were already addressed by support—they confirmed it’s part of my setup based on my serial number.
At 1080p or competitive frame rates are achievable, but a 5700X3D will match that performance. At 1440p or higher, you hit GPU limits and won’t see much improvement. Overheating isn’t a major concern—reducing voltage can lower it significantly. The maximum temperature stays around 95°C, remaining stable during all core loads rather than during gaming sessions.
Still 95C or less, it just runs as fast as it's allowed to run. There's some to gain, but not as much as that chart above. Because that chart above uses RTX 4090
While I was pressing the button, I often had to pause because it's frustrating. I'm not just playing games; I'm also handling tasks like browsing, editing photos, using Unity, working with Davinci Color, and more.
5700x is sufficient for that; 7700x might offer a slight improvement across all tasks.
