I'm considering upgrading my CPU from an AMD Ryzen 5 1400 to the Ryzen 7 7700X. Do I really need to go for the 7700X, or would a lower model be sufficient? Also, will I need a new motherboard for this upgrade since it's a significant jump?

You'll definitely need a new AM5 motherboard for the Ryzen 7 7700X. The choice between the 7600, 7700, or 7800X3D really depends on how you plan to use your PC and what other components you have. If you're into gaming and streaming, going for the higher tier might be worth it.
Hey, what CPU exactly are you upgrading from? I noticed a typo with '1090.' Assuming you meant the Ryzen 5 1400. Just a heads up, it's challenging to recommend a CPU without knowing your usage and budget.
I think you can go for it! Just make sure your new CPU is compatible with your new motherboard and memory. It's a massive upgrade, so getting the right components is key.
I’m pretty much in the same boat. I mainly game and stream with a GeForce GTX 1070 and 12GB RAM. I figured if I'm upgrading, I'd want to jump to something powerful like the 7700X.
