Looking at the deals, I am looking to upgrade my graphics card but need to keep price to performance in mind. My budget is 1300 but ive already spent 300 on the 5800x3d preorder. What would you guys suggest? I dont have to spend the entire budget on graphics. I can use whatever's left to get a decent NVME as im on 512gb still.

where did you find a 5800x3d on preorder?
Hi, I think the only GPU in your budget range is the RTX 5080. It is under your budget. At £979.99.
Palit GeForce RTX 5080 Gaming Pro 16GB GDDR7 PCI-Express Graphics Card

You could also consider the following, AMD RX 9070 XT and Nvidia RTX 5070 ti. Both GPU's are cheaper than your 1.3k budget.
or
Your budget does not stretch to the RTX 5090, which is vastly overpriced, and beyond your specified budget.
In regards to an NVME, I own the this one, and it is solid. 1TB.

I'd not pre-order as AMD has not shipped any for months and it is now EOL along with 5700X3D and 7600X3D. Only low-end 3D chip now in production is 7500X3D.

I’d get a 9070XT and pocket the change.
If you must go Nvidia, I’d personally go 5070ti as I don’t think the 5080 offers substantially better performance for the price.
Plus, there’s the stinger of parting with almost £1000 and only getting 16GB VRAM.

That 9070xt looks sweet! I saw the 5800x3d on preorder here but sounds like it wont be fulfilled. Im not sure why it says preorder and not out of stock? If that's the case, my cpu will definitely be a bottleneck and I would then look to spend £2000 and switch over to AM5.
This, plus with a 5700x3d/5800x3d the 9070xt/5070ti is a perfect match. Save the change and get an OLED monitor or something that'll substantially improve your gaming experience.

If you need one, I'd second the comment on getting a quality monitor. I think it would contribute more than a jump from 9070/5070ti to a 5080.
The deals are mainly just where these cards sat on their release, or the lowest that they've been since then.
So, there's the 5070 for £450. Not bad, but it'll always get that "ugh, 12GB" reaction. Performance is a good chunk better than a 5060 Ti 16GB, so if you're on a budget for a 1440p card and it HAS to be nvidia (e.g. need CUDA/productivity) they're a fair deal at that price.
9070 for £450. A lot of raster performance for the money, supports FSR4 which is a big junk on FSR3 and power consumption is decently down on the 9070 XT.
9070 XT for £540. Competes very favourably with the 5070 Ti. Very good card for 1440p and comfortable at 4K.
