Build Upgrade indecisions

[Arkanium]

Budget (including currency): 5000 SGD (~3750 USD)

Country: Singapore

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming (Apex, Total War, Baldur's Gate) @1440p, Premier Pro

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): 

Current Build

• CPU: Ryzen 5800X3D
• MB: MSI X570S ACE MAX
• GPU: MSI 3080 Ti Gaming X Trio
• RAM: Corsair Vengence RS 3600Mhz 16GB x 2
• Case: PC-O11D Dynamic XL

 

Hey guys, I need some help to decide on the upgrade path that I can go for. I'm currently stuck on certain decision, and would really like the collective wisdom of PC builders more experienced than me to advise.

1. I'm thinking to upgrade to a 7950X3D, but feel that it would likely be overkill, would a 7800X3D suffice?
2. On that note, what Motherboard would be recommended, I need something that is able to handle 1xNVMe(2TB), 2xSSD(2TB) and 2xHDD(4TB) with options to expand if needed.
3. RAM is also a problem, am not sure what would be a good RAM fit, and similarly would really like some help on this.
4. For the GPU, I am looking to consider the 4080 Super when it comes out, but would like some advise on this front also. Currently looking to game at 1440p (which is my current), but would like either an option that has some headroom for 4K in the future, and/or multiple monitors @1440p 
    

Really would love your help guys, thanks!

Absolutely no need to upgrade to 7800X3D. The performance difference is not so big, especially at 1440p. Save your money and wait for the 3nm Zen CPUs to launch, along with the 2nd gen AM5 chipsets and motherboards and then go for an upgrade. This is why i am still keeping my B450m board and haven't upgraded to X570, although i can really use the extra PCIe lanes.

As for the GPU - wait till the 4080 Super hits the market. If it's anywhere close to the advertised MSRP, it should be a pretty good upgrade.

Your system simply doesn't need an upgrade. The 5800X3D is still smashing heads and kicking a$$es even now in 2024. In the games which utilize the additional cache well, kicks the snot out of even the 14900k. So no need to waste money.

If you do want to upgrade something in your rig, get a nice 360mm AIO if you don't have one. They are really great investment and help all the X3D CPUs to stay cool and fast.

You're at 1440p, so the difference gap is less,

 

@QuantumSingularity is right

I'd say just get the new GPU when the price of it is justifiable and convenient,

 

if the performance is good, (which is most likely will be)

 

good,

 

if it isn't,

 

then check back over here, because the problem doesn't always have to be another component, Looking at you Cities Skylines 2

Hello...

 

Your current PC looks really amazing already. I wouldn't do a whole Platform Upgrade just yet. Like other have said just go with what you have for now but if you were looking to improve on anything substantial in the meantime then I would go for a decent 360mm AIO like a Thermalright, NZXT, MSI, or Corsair. Stay away from Lian Li AIOs because they tend to leak or get clogged an then you would need a new one. Another thing you could upgrade is the GPU. I'm not sure how you feel about AMD GPUs but if you wanted a RADEON RX 7900XTX then it would be about a 37% improvement over the RTX 3080 Ti. The 7900 XTX would also be the perfect GPU to pair with any newer AM5 CPU when you do decide to make a Platform jump. Also the 7900 XTX will cost a lot less then a new RTX 4080 or 4080 Super and it would give you 8GB more in VRAM for a total of 24GB, right now you can only get that on the RTX 4090.

 

When you do decide to make a Platform jump then this is what I would get.

 

I have been building PCs for over 30 years so if you have any questions please ask. For future communication I use Discord for much faster response times as I have it open 24/7. Here is my Discord: Wizardsnapper#2772 I am also available if you need help before, during, or after the Build process on Discord through Voice or Video Chat. I can be with you while you build your new PC if you need me to be.

Thanks for all the reply! Will take some time to mull over everything
