So I placed the order and have a new Mobo, CPU and RAM which has now been despatched.
I was to be honest leaning towards the 5950x CPU but after contemplation with valuable input from here decided thr core of my system was 5 years old so it was time to move it up.
I am also contemplating getting 1.6Gbps Full Fibre Broadband so having a 2.5Gbps LAN port will be very helpful.
Also I have a case that supports USB C which the old mobo doesn't have a connector for this.
The extra RAM, enhanced NVME support etc plus being on a supported architecture were the clincher.
I suspect my old Mobo, CPU and RAM will fetch a helpful sum on bay of E as well.
I have found this a very helpful process to guide me through the options and make me think about it so thanks all
