Upgrade in 2 steps

[allex89]

Budget (including currency): up to 4K

Country: Cypus

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming some Virtualization, and Video Edit

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): 

I currently run a 5600X, 64GB, GTX1070Ti, 8TB all NVMe SSD with 3 x 1080P monitors 24''

As the 1070ti is coming to an end of life/support from NVIDIA, I am planning to upgrade the monitors to 2 4k OLED 32'' and the GPU to a 5080 super when it comes out ( with PSU) as a first phase. Then, in phase 2, the CPU( wait for Ryzen 10xxx series), RAM, Motherboard, etc.

What is your opinion people?

Honestly I wouldn’t wait, I’d just get the 9800x3d and call it a day. It might be a while before we see 10 series cpus. As for the 5080 super, I’d prob look to amd this time around, nvidia still has a lot of driver problems despite many hot fixes at this point (there are many more problems with nvidia but this is the main one we’re dealing with right now) and there’s no telling if they’ll get better before super class cards come out. 9070xt is your best bet. The rtx 3090 is also cheap if you want something good for video editing.

To stay neutral … I will say from the European Union  

So what is your opinion on the 2 steps upgrade?

It depends a lot on preferences but upgrading like that creates headaches with compatibility and also you don't get the fresh sense of new equipment. And you'll leave a lot of GPU performance on the table because of CPU bottleneck. I'd keep the system as is and build a completely new one which you'll essentially do anyway in steps.
