Time to upgrade?

    PC was built almost 4 years ago and just wondering if it's time for an upgrade. Would definitely like to play games a bit better and was always intended on upgrading the graphics card but then the prices went insane (they still seem a bit mad). Monitor is Azus 27" 1440p.

    I can see some good value with the Ryzen 7 5700x but I'd need to make sure that this would be compatible with what I have and that it won't cause a bottleneck. I really cannot see any graphics cards at a reasonable price (€200) that would be worth upgrading to? I guess I could expect some sell on value from my own to add to that price??

    Any recommended upgrades appreciated, thanks!

    I have the 2700X and am going to leave the CPU upgrade till next year but am going to buy a new GPU pretty soon so looking at the Radeon 7900XT

    I have an 850 watt PSU though so you would have to buy a new one I'd say if you wanted to break the build into chunks

    Wow, that a monster!! Well outside of my requirements (well, my budget anyway 😆).

    Ive done a little more research and I think I’m better off leaving the cpu as is for now. The RX 6600 looks like good value.
