Help determining an upgrade path

[hilgydan]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/tcxQFg   this is my current PC build. However, with starfield coming out in September I decided I wanted to upgrade my PC to get much better performance and graphics. I'm thinking about upgrading to A Radeon rx 7900xt GPU and an AMD Ryzen 9 5950x CPU. Would these upgrades work with the other parts of my PC? Would I get a good graphical and performance buff? Should I upgrade something else?

Add another set of that RAM for a total of 32GB and this cpu in the link after updating your bios.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm curious as to why I should get the 5700x rather than the one I listed?

May I ask why?

Prices keep falling so might as well wait till you see a need for an upgrade.

For what the 5950X + decent cpu cooler + more RAM cost you can get on a DDR5 platform

Fair enough. Thanks for answering! I'm just trying to figure what to upgrade it with and if I need to upgrade anything else.

so the 5700x is essentially more cost effective while still being a good upgrade?

Would you say that the graphics card is a solid choice for an upgrade?

Thanks for the help I really appreciate it, I'm excited to see the effect the upgrades have!

If it's just for gaming a 5800X3D would be a better option.

 

The 4070Ti is about the same price (YMMV) and about the same performance as another option. But the 7900XT is a good option.
