Currently running an old i7 8700k and 1080ti. I only want to spend about £300-350 - mainly to get a bit more FPS on Tarkov @ 1440p

I can see Ryzen 5800X for around £185/190 which seems like a decent price and could perhaps grab a MOBO for £110.

Or do I chance a used 3070ti or other graphics card? I assume the graphics card will give a better gaming performance increase?
 
I know it's a last gen socket but what is the chance of getting an AM5 CPU for £190 that will compete with an AM4 any time soon? I'm not really bothered about being on the latest stuff as you can see I've run the 8700k for god knows how many years... but yea I think a graphics card update give me more for my money.
