Despite spending many years clocking the nuts off cpus (remember the good old Q6600 days!) - I've lost track a bit of hardware and where it's at.

Currently I have

I7 7700k
16gb ram
MSI Z270 motherboards
980ti gpu
Various SSD/M2 drives
Corsair 650W psu (think it's now 10 years old and still going strong)

Aside that - Corsair keyboard/logitech mouse and 2 x AOC 24G2U monitors.

Main things is Tarkov playing and some other general games. Also I use it for my work (work for myself) but nothing intense work wise (lots of basic office/adobe reader windows open)

Now I'm fully aware that it does the job and games are generally fine on it - However, not upgraded anything in years (apart from monitors).

I have funds to upgrade and would like to "refresh" the system. Doesn't need to be top tier but I would like to upgrade cpu/motherboard/ram. I think a wise idea despite doing me so well would be a new PSU (they are damn pricey these days - Current Corsair 650W cost me £65 back in the day)

GPU was bought 2nd hand from MM about 4 years ago. I would like to take advantage of the Freesync monitors if a new gpu was purchased.

So monitors/keyboard/mouse/case and drives all stay.

Funds wise - nothing mental money but no real budget.

Interested to hear your thoughts please.

you got that 7700k at 5ghz?
recently went from 5ghz 7700k to 3900x
loving it
the 7700k was really good but i am a heavy multitasker
and the 3900x slays the 7700k even at 5ghz for stuff i do
the 7700k is still a very good cpu though
depending on your usage

I don't overclock anything any more - don't have the time/nor interest in overclocking anymore.

The AMD do look good bang for buck.

Thanks - very tempted to get 3700X, MSI B450 tomahawk board and Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 32GB (2x16GB) 3600 MHz AMD Ryzen Tuned DDR4 Memory Dual Kit

Nothing in the B550 boards yesterday is needed for me.
