Looking to get a Ryzen 5000 series CPU along with an RTX3000 series GPU or a Radeon 6000 series GPU depending on which I can get my hands on first.  Wondering if it makes more sense to just replace the CPU and GPU, or if other components need upgraded as well, or if a brand new build makes more sense.  WiFi capability is necessary

i currently run a 3900X alongside an X470 CH7 with 3733 mhz 16gb of ram and a 5700 im saving up for big navi but my systems runs every gfame i play maxed out the only game it struggles with is assassin's creed odyssey. something to keep in mind amd said in there live stream if you pair a 6000 series gpu with a 5000 series cpu you will see a performance boost

 

if i were in your shoes i would upgrade the mobo cpu gpu and ram keep the rest 3600-3733 is the sweat spot at least for 3000 series cpus but even then you might wanan look into a 3900x upgrade as once the new amd cpus are out the 3000 series should be cheaper
