Upgrade path from AMD Ryzen 5 3600 with RTX2070 Super

[Sh0tgunCr4ig]

Hi

I've getting back into PC gaming, my current setup is below:

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU
AsRock B450M Steel Legend M/B
32GB Corsair DDR4 3000 RAM
Asus RTX2070 Super GPU

I used to play stuff like Far Cry 5/New Dawn/6, Doom Eternal, Borderlands 3 all at 1080p.

I'm wanted going forward to play newer titles and get a new 1440p monitor in the near future.


I want to stay on AM4 for now and can't decide whether to upgrade the CPU to a Ryzen 7 5700x3D and leave it at that.

Or to upgrade the GPU to something like a RTX3070 or RTX3070 Ti.

Or upgrade the CPU to something like a Ryzen 5 5600x or Ryzen 7 5700x and the GPU to a RTX3060 Ti or at a push a RTX3070.

Any advice?

Definitely want to take the 5700x3D if you intend to stay on the platform. Someone else may be better placed to comment on GPU, but I'd get the best GPU you can push the budget to allow. That said, don't buy high end right now with 5000 series round the corner.

If budget is no issue just get the 5700X3D and be done with it, you won't need to touch it for 3-5 years, depending on your next GPU upgrade.

With the graphics, I would suggest a minimum of a 4070 non-Super or 7800 XT, to give you a decent upgrade and some headroom for the future, but I assume you're thinking about used cards instead.

Budget is around £500 (£550 at a push) for both CPU and GPU (or just the CPU/GPU).
Would be used parts.

I never considered the AMD GPUs as my last few cards have been nVidia.
Just been looking at reviews on the 7800XTs and added them to my short list
