System upgrade - GPU only or full

[Invertigo]

Hi all, been a while since I've been in 'the game' of pc parts so to speak. Current rig is as per sig, into a 3440x1440 monitor. Modern games seem to be really showing off the 3070 memory limitation and I'm now generally on lower settings with DLSS to keep a good framerate, MSI overlay shows 100% gpu usage generally and 50-75%ish cpu typically for my games.

So, I know I'm getting a new GPU, and I know that's going to be an RX 9070XT. The question is do we think that's enough, or should I also look to swap out the rest of the system and use it as the excuse to swap to an ITX AM5 system (with a 9600x or 9700x probably to keep the 65w TDP, alongside 32gb memory)

Quick summary:
1440p Ultrawide res
3070 being replaced with a 9070XT
Is it necessary to upgrade the 5600x CPU to Zen5 or will it do another couple of years

That res is fairly hefty, so I'd suggest going with the GPU upgrade and seeing what happens. Is free to try after all.

This might be of interest:

Interesting video, thanks. Seems even at 1440p it's mostly GPU limitations, especially for the games I play out of those tested. Probably worth just trying it out and monitoring GPU/CPU usage in my games looking at that and upgrade CPU when I have some pressing reason to.
