I'm contemplating an upgrade on my current setup, which has a 5600X CPU paired with a 3070 GPU. I'm considering moving to a 5700X3D for around £140 here in the UK. If I go for the CPU upgrade, should I also upgrade to an RX 7900 XT, which I've found for about £550? Would this combo be suitable for 1440p gaming? Alternatively, would it be smarter to switch entirely to AM5, or will a CPU upgrade (maybe even a GPU upgrade) keep my AM4 setup relevant for the next few years? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

£140 for the 5700X3D sounds like a steal! Its MSRP in the US is about $250, so that deal is pretty sweet. Upgrading now and sticking with AM4 for a while seems like a solid plan to me! You could ride it out until AM6 comes around.
Do you reckon the performance difference between the 5600X and the 5700X3D will be significant?
