Hello guys, I've built my gaming rig 5 years ago and I am thinking to upgrade it.Here is a list of the components that I currently own - Case : Lian Li PC-O11D Razer Edition Midi-Tower - Motherboard : ASRock X470 Taichi Ultimate - Processor : AMD R9 3900X - Water Cooling systems : Hydro Series™ H150i PRO RGB 360mm Liquid CPU Cooler - Graphics card : Asus Dual RTX 2080 Super - Memory : Corsair VENGEANCE® RGB PRO 32GB 4 x 8GB DDR4 DRAM 3600MHz C18 Memory Kit — white - NVMe M.2 SSD : Samsung 970 EVO 1 TB NVMe M.2 SSD - NVMe M.2 SSD 2 : 4TB Lexar NM790 M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0 x4 3D-NAND TLC (LNM790X004T-RNNNG) - Solid state drives : Kingston HyperX Savage Sata 480 GB - Mouse : Logitech G502 HERO - Keyboard : Razer Ornata Chroma - Headset: Razer Nari Ultimate - Monitor: AOC 2770 PF Btw I am doing some research to change my monitor,having in mind a 1440p monitor since I think we are not quite there for 4k and for 27 " 4k might be overkill. For the gpu I am waiting for the 5080,hoping that this year will release . So I am having in mind to upgrade just my CPU to 5800x3d since in theory my motherboard supports it,and let it like this for the next 5 years or so,or should i upgrade completely (CPU , Motherboard and Memory ).What do you think guys? I think since I will go from 1080p to 1440p the difference in CPU performance it's not gonna be so noticeable or do you think otherwise?

Upgrading from 3900X to 5800X3D for gaming is a great choice. You don’t have to purchase a new platform.

Experience the improvement even at 1440p with the 5800X3D upgrade. It significantly boosts performance compared to 3900X for gaming, making it a smarter choice rather than overhauling the entire platform.

5800X3D offers a similar performance boost compared to 30€ more for a higher clock speed of 350-450MHz, which is notable for games that don’t gain much from the extra cache.
