Which CPU to get to maximize gpu utilization?

[lloydcars18]

Hey folks so im currently running a R7 1700 which i have been for the past 3 years and has done me well but now as games are getting more demanding and i have a RTX 2070 Super and game at 1080p a CPU upgrade would be the logical choice im assuming?

ive done a few benchmarks in games which show u how bound your GPU is 100% being GPU bottlenecked and 0% being CPU bottlenecked in Gears of war 4 and 5 plus Shadow of the tomb raider at Ultra settings im getting from as low as 5% bound to around 50% bound.

i want my CPU to last another 3 years and have no expectation at changing my monitor to 1440p as i prefer the higher frame rate than how good a game looks.

also would need a motherboard for my new CPU my Trident Z ram should be good enough to keep?

im Leaning towards a 5800x and B550 which would be about a 450 pounds upgrade after i sell my current CPU/MB do you's think that's worth it?

Also the games il be playing are Cyberpunk 2077,Destiny 2 and Cold War so want to have it built before 10th November.

Any Help is Greatly Appreciated

Yea I'm definitely going to wait for reviews I've been hearing people say the NDA isn't going to lift until there release which sounds stupid imo who's going to buy a product without first knowing how it performs I think they will lift NDA on the 28th when they announce there new GPUs.

Ryzen 7 5800x, Aorus B550 Elite and Wraith Spire RGB cooler comes to around £577

or

Core i7 10700k, Aorus b460 Pro AC and a half Decent Air Cooler works out around £540

I Want the Aorus board as been using one for 3 years and had no trouble plus need 2 m.2 slots for my Dual 960 Evo's

Lets just wait for benchmarks but less than 40 quid of a difference for hopefully 5-10% more performance and PCI-E 4.0 for future upgrades.

Yea your definitely gpu bound at that resolution i sit quite far back from my monitor so prefer the Higher FPS to Higher Res.
