7800x3d is also a really good cpu if you can get it for a reasonable price

I have a Nvidia Rex 4070 ti super and a Ryzen 7600 and I’ve been looking to upgrade for a while but I was wondering what I should get, I don’t want to spend more than I have to but i want something better. Any suggestions would help.

If you're on 1080p, upgrade the monitor.

1440p is the sweet spot rn, most monitors on Amazon that are trustworthy go for 160$. 
 

 

in terms of upgrades, I’d hold off due to the fact that now intel is getting ready to release 18a and amd should come out with 10 series chips soon after. If you can’t wait, the 9800x3d is the best cpu you can get.

I don’t really want to spend 500$ on a cpu tho, anything with similar performance but cheaper?

Why tho?

 

What "better" do you want?  Visuals?  Frame rates?  Better lows?

 

Better is just too vague a term, and it results in a back and forth.  Tell us what you truly want, then we can help.

 

Have you done PBO/CO with that CPU btw?

 

I'd drop in a 9700X to be honest, short of the X3D chips it's the best gaming CPU IMO.

1440p for starters-

 

32" has the same pixel size as 24" 1080p. This is good if you have poor vision (like me).

If you have good vision, or your diopter can be perfectly compensated with glasses/contacts, then 27" (smaller pixels ~ sharper image).

 

If you play competitive shooters and don't do much static content (like work, spredsheets, word, etc), then a 240Hz one, preferably OLED.

 

If you work a lot or if you're not into multiplayer shooters (playing single player games, MMO-s, etc), you're fine with 144-180Hz.

 

If OLED, look at around $500-700. If IPS or VA, look at ~ $300, that's the sweetspot.

 

Upgrade to an X3D CPU only if you need it (cpu bottleneck & fast shooter games).
