Hey guys,

I am swithering about changing up a few components in my rig..

Currently I have :
Ryzen 9 7900X
64gb DDR5 RAM
4070ti Super
4tb NVME drive (W11 and Games)

and was considering changing the RAM, CPU and the storage to:

9800X3D
128gb DDR RAM
4070ti Super (keeping this)
1tb NVME for W11 and the 4tb NVME for games.


Is this worthwhile? or am I not getting much gains??? the PC is solely used for gaming and general day-to-day tasks.
 
Maybe i'm of a different mindset, but I would ask yourself if you're happy with how it currently performs?

I have fallen into doing a full upgrade/replace of my main PC approx every 4 years. I'm still happy with my own machine 5600x, 16GB RAM and RTX3070, which I built back in 2021 so have started looking. But at the moment still happy with everything so not in any rush to spend money.

tbh, yes, yes i am happy. i just get the itch to upgrade sometimes when i dont need to i suppose..

the other thing i was considering was a RTX 5080 and sell the 4070 TI S???

tbh, im thinking future proofing and i like to have a lot of apps and Edge windows etc open..but i suppose we are not quite there yet when 32/64 is mandatory for games..

'Future proofing'? What, for a week?

I mean you're talking about upgrading a 7900X and 64Gb RAM because you have 'a lot of apps and Edge' open.

Is this a wind up?

hence why i was asking if a 5080 would be a good upgrade?

and i like to spend money.. so sue me.

Partly the reason im contemplating change, I took delivery yesterday of a LG UltraGear OLED and was considering a little more "go" at 4K high settings?

ah ok now it makes sense :) i think you will notice a change going to a 9800x3d, i went from a 5900x to a 9800x3d and things feel way smoother - higher mins too. sure a 7900x to 9800x3d is less of a change but the dual ccd issue of the 5900x is still present on the 7900x as far as im aware and so in theory you should see the same smoothness and higher mins that i did roughly.

i doubt youl see any improvement on the ram aspect, unless your maxing out the 64gb you've got right now?

9070xt, allows me to at 1440p crank settings in most games and get good frames. i came from a 7800xt which was fine too, but this is faster it was also an itch to scratch like yours and my old gpu went in the wifes machine so everyone won in that scenario :D

ahh ok, yeah, i see what you mean, it probably makes most sense getting a 5080 as apposed to other components first?

yeah, always need to keep the wife happy, priorities right there mate! :cry:
