I'm currently running a Ryzen 7 3800X for my CPU and an Nvidia GTX 1650 Super for my GPU on an ASUS TUF GAMING X-570 Plus (Wi-Fi) Motherboard. I'm looking to upgrade both components to enhance my gaming experience, especially for Flight Simulator 2024. I'm considering the Ryzen 5700 or the 5800X3D for the CPU, and I'm eyeing the Nvidia 4070 series for the GPU, but I'm not sure which options to go with. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Definitely be clear on which Nvidia 4070 you're considering since there's a few options like the 4070 Ti and Super versions. If you choose the 4070 or 4070 Super, any Ryzen 5700 would be fine. But if you go for the 4070 Ti or the Ti Super, I highly recommend pairing it with a Ryzen 5800 for optimal balance. Keep in mind that Flight Simulator is a resource-intensive game, so leaning towards the 4070 Ti with a 5800X or 5800X3D would be the best setup.
If you're going for an upgrade, I recommend steering clear of the Ryzen 5700 non-X variant. The X3D CPUs are hard to find at reasonable prices since they’ve been discontinued, and it's pretty pricey on the resale market. A good alternative would be the Ryzen 5800X; it's an excellent choice for AM4 platforms and should serve you well without breaking the bank.
