Searching for CPU, motherboard, and RAM options. Considering current prices in my area, Intel boards are expensive and I’d need a new cooler. The 13th generation chips are out of budget, and the 7800X3D is too costly. I’m using a 3080 graphics card at 1440p resolution.

Your current configuration supports 1440p gaming efficiently. With a 3080 or 5600 chipset, you won’t need top-tier GPUs—most games run smoothly on your setup.

I had my i9 9900k fail and I'm searching for an upgrade.

I’d consider the 7600 since it offers a more recent system with an upgrade route that avoids excessive costs.

Prefer the 7700x paired with the gigabyte board. It's pricier, but having eight cores ensures better performance in the long run.
