Upgrading from am4 to am5
Upgrading from am4 to am5
I just want to check if upgrading to a new or used am5 build makes sense
Current setup
gigabyte b550 gamig x v 2
ryzen 5 3600x
16gb ddr4 3200mhz
512gb nvme
corsair 550f power supply
power color 5700xt
to
Asus b650 plus (either this model or the wifi version)
7600x ryzen 5
32gb ddr 5 6200mhz
1tb nvme
750w power supply
6950xt, 4070ti, 7800xt, 3080ti (around 450£)
Should I upgrade? Or should I focus on getting a better graphics card?
I have a 1440p monitor and some games struggle with FPS because of the current graphics card

I could obtain a 6970xt for the same price as the 7800xt, but it might be better to upgrade to an AMD Ryzen 5 now. My budget allows up to 1100£ (1300$) and I play Destiny 2, the first sequel, Smite 2, and a few newer titles. I’m unsure whether to upgrade the whole PC or just the GPU.
