I currently have a R7 2700, 32gb of DDR4 and an RX 5700 XT. Ive got around £600 to spend, and have been debating between going to a R7 7700X, 32gb of DDR5 and a B650 mb, or something like a RX 6900 XT for a GPU upgrade. What will probably be the best return in increased performance? Forgot to add I have a Straight Power 11 850W, just haven't installed it yet

Unless if this is a 4K system, i wouldnt. 6800 non XT with 5600 would be a more smart move, or just 5600 with 32GB of ram and keep saving for an actual 6900XT on the used market.
