Best upgrade path for current setup? 2700x/2070/B450

[Stormseeker9]

Hi all, so for my current rig I built in late 18 or early 19; what upgrade path would be best for current mobo/gpu? Primarily used for gaming + work (no editing type work, basic stuff)

 

Budget (including currency): if possible, max €500

Country: Netherlands (but can buy Europe wide)

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: simulator games such as FS22/ETS2/flight sim; cities skylines; indie games; most heavy game probably going to be F24 next year. 
 

Other details

- 2700X

- B450 gaming pro carbon AC

- 2070 

-32GB LPX @ 3200mhz 

- missed details in signature 

 

 

 

 

I understand that in my budget there is no room for a GPU upgrade, when also upgrading CPU. Would it be best to rather look at GPU upgrade than a CPU? Main reason for upgrading is the PC feels sluggish compared to my M1 MBP. Graphics look decent but I miss the quality of shading (I guess) with my current setup when looking at people playing same games and their graphics. Open to any advice and if I missed anything please let me know! 
 

thanks in advance

Hey thanks for your response.  

 

Question regarding option #2: I can see the 5800X available for €219 -> is the +€30 price tag worth it insteadf of the 5700x?  Further, I've seen mentioned best pick for an AM4 mobo would be 5800x3d? can you attest to this? as in, it would be the ' best' newer gen chip for AM4 as a last upgrade before the next ugprade in a few years would be the entire rig?

would be 5800x3d

Yes and honestly that would be it for Cities, most simulator titles, and F1 series for as long as they stick to EGO. If you have stock cooler you need an aftermarket cooler but after that as long as your case is pretty well ventilated you can run it on stock settings.

gotcha, thanks. 

 

So if I understand corretly, either the 5700x or go the extra mile for the 5800x3d? As the latter would be the best 'new' cpu for my current gen mobo?

On the money. Not every board can handle the high end Zen amperage demand but your board should be fine.

Which one would you personally opt for, also taking my current GPU in consideration?

Just curious and can’t make up my mind haha

5800X3D. I got Assetto Corsa, Payday 3, F1 series, and probably soon enough Forza Motorsport.
