I've chosen to treat my system with a bit of extra care. I'm planning a CPU upgrade and wanted your thoughts on the best approach. Right now I have: CPU - i5 7600k up to 4.9GHz, Motherboard - MSI Z270 Kraig gaming GPU, GPU - MSI GTX 1080 Ti Armor OC, PSU - Corsair RX750i, RAM - Kingston HyperX Furry Dual Channel (16GB), 2400MHz stock cooler - Corsair H110i (older model). I'm not worried about cost since it's mostly for gaming and programming. I was considering the AMD Ryzen 9 3900X but my cooling isn't sufficient and the PSU might not fit. Also, I'm thinking about boosting RAM as it's recommended to use the highest possible clock speed on AMD. Thanks!

PSU and cooling are sufficient, proceed. Ensure you have a solid X570 motherboard.

Upgrading can be exciting, but I recommend holding off since there are new developments coming soon.

You could expect around $900 USD, with a slight variation, since lower prices are preferable. My options are limited by the nearby store, so I’ll adjust any online listings by adding roughly $50 to get my local cost.

I agree you're right, the FOMO is taking its toll, but I still want to upgrade my PC while I can. The wait is really frustrating. I think I'll hold off for about a month to see what's new.

By the way mate, I am just making sure that not only that the psu wattage rating is good for my desired setup, but that the cable is sufficiant, cause i saw that there is an additional 4(or 6 im not sure) pin connector on the mobo

Only link the 8-pin connector when you're pushing your CPU to its maximum capacity To ensure stable power delivery

It looks like your PSU doesn't have a 4-pin connector. You might need a different type of cable depending on the power delivery requirements. Let me know if you need more details!
