HI

For about £1300 I can get the 7800x3d, new mobo,32gb ram and 4070....or just the 4080 for £1200.

I have 3600x and 3070- just seems a lot of money just for the card..I just game or....

do you think it's a silly idea for new cpu -4070 and just get the 4080?

?

If you have to make the upgrade, I would get a new CPU, RAM etc. Piece of mind if you want to upgrade later.

You could Drop in a 5800x3d and some more memory and your good unless your 3070 is not giving you enough.

I get freezing in Red Dead Redemption 2. It's sometime doesn't happen for 40 or so minutes and it stays frozen for maybe 10 seconds or so. I am trying to eliminate it but I might have to do a reinstall of windows and think 'blow it' i'll get a new mobo etc as i fancy upgrading..or as it's most probably not a hardware issue get the 4080 and try to eliminate it through 'maybe' trial and error.

~£1450 will get you the below.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2 GHz 8-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI PRO B650-P WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36 Memory
Video Card: Sapphire 21323-01-20G Radeon RX 7900 XT 20 GB Video Card

Alternatively get a 5800X3D as already suggested, and perhaps drop in another 16GB DDR4, so only £330 all in. You can always update the card if you don't get the result you want.

If it's just one game then I wouldn't be chucking parts at it unless you want to upgrade anyway, but definitely try a fresh install,etc.

i was thinking that maybe the cpu wasn't powerful enough for Red dead redemption 2 but i dont think that is the case ..
