Upgrading from a 5900x

[Noix]

Budget (including currency): 1,000 (GBP)

Country: UK

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: cs2/bf5 and 6 casual gaming and photo/ video editing on a 1440p monitor.

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): 

 

HI,

Looking for some advice to upgrade my current build. Thinking of upgrading the cpu,mobo, ram and storage and then sell my old pc parts and get either a 5070ti or wait till dec or jan and see what cards come out.

Also not sure if its worth getting a cheaper mobo and trying to get the 9800X3D to fit in budget somehow.
