Part of that too is not having a 5700x just hanging around at this point in time. Keeping the platform together that's already Ryzen 5000 would be easier to sell or have as a backup. That's where upgrading to AM5 or Intel's next platform would be best in my opinion.

 

I think the 5000x3D drop in upgrade is still viable, but mostly limited to Ryzen 3000 or 5500/5600 drop in upgrades where they already have a decent kit of RAM and at least a decent B450 board. Past that, the CPU is probably better off sticking with the board, like a 5700x, so its easier to sell as a package or keep. I'd say that includes the cooler since removing AM4 CPU coolers is always risky.

Budget (including currency):  1000 Euro

Country: Belgium

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Skyrim with mods, Folding at home

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): 

Everything runs smooth as i want it to so i was wondering what the next step up would be? triple monitors? maybe a new gpu? please give me tips and advice.

Definitely a new GPU. RX 6600 is great, but limited, so something like an RTX 4070/ti Super or 7900 XT.

 

A 3D v-cache CPU would help, but I don't think its worth jumping into from a 5700x unless you only play games like WoW. You'd be better off waiting for a 8800X or even 8800x3D in my opinion. If you wanted to drop a decent amount, the 7800x3D is still a great chip, but I wouldn't sacrifice a healthy GPU upgrade to do so already having a 5700x.

Have you seen any data on 3D v-cache with heavily modded Skyrim? I honestly haven't touched skyrim in years outside of installing it on my Steam Deck as a test.

Sucks that your in Belgium because it you were in the us and near a MicroCenter then I would say go for the ryzen 5 5600x3d. I have it in my system and I love it. But for you I would say gpu or get a cheap am5 cpu and mobo.

Here's my suggestion on what I'd spend the money on. This though is assuming your current monitor is 1080p I never remember those HD variations. Now I'm thinking about tit though full HD might be 1440p.

 

Slightly smaller monitor but Linus himself (despite no longer following his own advice.) Stated that 24" best for 1080p 27" for 1440p and 32" for 4k.

 

If the monitor is already 1440p then probably https://be.pcpartpicker.com/list/wvprXk
