I'm considering upgrading my gaming setup, and I currently have a 1080 Ti, an 8700K, and 32GB of 2800MHz RAM. I found a deal for some new parts: a GPU (RTX 4060 8GB), a CPU (5700X 3D), and 64GB of 3200MHz RAM for £650. I want to know if this is a good deal and whether I should go for it. Any thoughts?

Just so you know, it looks like the RAM setup includes four 16GB sticks, which is nice to have!
What games are you mainly playing? If you're into eSports titles like Fortnite, Siege, or CSGO, the 5700X3D is a solid CPU choice. However, if you're not focused on those, consider going for either a 5600 or a 5700X and using any extra cash to upgrade your GPU instead. I'm not familiar with prices in your area, but you might find a 6800XT with great performance for a similar price.
That's a decent price for the parts you're looking at. However, keep in mind that the RTX 4060 is only a slight upgrade over your current GPU. Are you required to buy all the parts as a bundle? If so, could you pass on the GPU? Also, just a heads up, you will need a new motherboard to accommodate these components.
