Hey everyone! I'm looking for some advice on whether I should upgrade my gaming PC. Here's my current setup: I've got an AMD Ryzen 7700 X CPU, an ASUS TUF OC RTX 5070 Ti GPU, a be quiet light loop 360mm AIO cooler, and a be quiet Light Base 600 LX case with 7x be quiet! LX RGB fans. I've also got 48GB of RAM and a 3 TB SSD, along with an 850W Corsair RMx power supply, and my mainboard is an ASUS TUF Gaming B859-Plus WiFi. It's running great so far, but I'm curious if there are any components worth upgrading, or if I should just hold off for now.

If your PC isn't underperforming for what you use it for, maybe save your cash for now. You could consider upgrading to a 9800x3d, but unless you're pairing it with a 5090, the gains won’t be worth the expense. Check out this video for more details!
Seriously? Why even consider an upgrade? Your setup is pretty solid! Unless you're facing issues, it feels like you're just itching to spend money for no reason.
If you don't have one already, maybe treat yourself to an OLED monitor!
When would you recommend upgrading, then?
