CPU Upgrade Concerns

Budget (including currency): None

Country: United State

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming, CAD, ECAD, and Video Editing

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): R7 7700X, RX 7900XT, 32GB (2x16) 6000MHz DDR5, B650 (Gigabyte Gaming X AX V2), 850W (80+ Gold Corsair), Arctic Cooling Liquid Freezer III (360mm AIO), 1440P 165Hz display (may be upgrading to a 4K display)

 

I'm considering upgrading my computers CPU from a 7700X to a 7900X. My thought process is with to the current price of the 7900X ($340, as of writing this post) and selling my current CPU ($200, based on "buy it now" Ebay prices), $140 for 4 more cores (8 more threads) is a really good deal. However, I am concerned if I would be limiting the 7900X with my current setup in any way. Whether that be cooling, ram, power, motherboard (my main concern), etc. As for why I am making this upgrade, it's partially just to have more performance, and for the sake of my PCs longevity (If that makes sense). Interested to know what your thoughts are.

There's no issue there and if you are running out of memory, that'd be a problem for either CPU anyway.
