Looking to upgrade CPU/MOBO/RAM

[Rorgash]

Budget (including currency): 10,000SEK or around 1000$, can go higher for good reasons

 

Country: Sweden

 

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming with a focus on strategy and management games, which will include the new cities skylines.

 

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): My gpu is a 3080, and i dont need anything else for the system.

 

My cpu is running behind, currently an old 6700k, so for an upgrade of that i will need to upgrade the motherboard, which to not hamper me in the future kinda makes me need to upgrade it to DDR5 so i need to upgrade my RAM as well. Reason for asking here is that i know NOTHING about AMD their offerings and find their naming confusing as hell so no idea what to even look at there and when it comes to cpu i dont really feel the need for the newest stuff as my 6700k has lasted me this long(top of the line when i bought it).

 

Dont care if its AMD or Intel just whats good for my use case and price to performance, Thanks for the help

 

CPU: ?

Mobo:(as long as i know the socket i can find one, unless someone has a recommendation)

What resolution?

You can go for the Ryzen 7 7800x3D, good price, good workstation performance, good gaming. It can pretty much do anything. For the motherboard you can go for the B650 from MSI, Gigabyte or ASUS

@Rorgash If thats too pricey, a 5800X3D can also do quite a bit of work

That was my thought process too, I recently got a 7800X3D as it was only £368, which was pretty much perfectly within my budget and the best value to performance i found
