I'm considering upgrading my current PC hardware, but I'm unsure if the new components will really make a difference. Here's what I have now:
- **GPU**: RTX 5070
- **CPU**: Ryzen 7 5700X3D
- **Motherboard**: Gigabyte AB350M-GAMING 3
- **RAM**: 4 x 8 GB DDR4
- **SSD (OS and Programs)**: 870 EVO
- **SSD (Games Only)**: Samsung 980 Pro NVMe
- **PSU**: 750 Watts
I'm planning to upgrade to:
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D (I've been advised to get this instead of the Ryzen 5 9600X)
- **Motherboard**: MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi
- **RAM**: Corsair Vengeance DDR5 32GB (2x16GB) 6000MHz
- **PSU**: Corsair RM850e
My budget is about £800. Do you think this upgrade is a good choice?

Honestly, I’d suggest sticking with your current setup for a bit longer. If you haven't upgraded in 10 years, maybe just wait for the next hardware cycle to see better options. The 7800X3D is definitely a more future-proof investment.
Thanks for the advice! Might just bide my time and see what's around the corner instead.
