Upgrading from the Ryzen1700x

ditch the 3080 get a 6800xt a second hand 3700 and with what you save 32gb of ram .. should keep it sweet for 2 yrs
 
Keep Motherboard - agree (new platform/socket coming in 12 mths)
Keep RAM - agree (DDR 5 coming in 12 mths)
Change CPU - possibly. Your screen resolution is getting on for 4k which typically means the graphics card becomes more of a bottleneck. So changes to the graphics card will deliver much better bang for buck in terms of fps.
Change Graphics card - Yes.
 
Just picked up a 3700x bnib for £250 to replace my 1700 so plan to sell 1700 to recoup some of the money and put it towards a 6800xt, should do me for a few years
