Hey everyone! I'm planning to upgrade my gaming rig while keeping the graphics card. Currently, I've got a Gigabyte 3070 Vision paired with a Ryzen 5 3600XT and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. I'm looking to switch out the CPU, motherboard, and upgrade to DDR5 RAM, with a budget of around £500. Here's the build I'm considering:
- Gigabyte 3070
- Ryzen 5 9600X
- 32GB Crucial DDR5 6000MT/s
- Gigabyte B850 Aorus Elite WiFi 7
Do you think this is a good move for future-proofing my setup?

If you're seeking more CPU power, have you thought about getting a 5700X3D? It's around £215 and can give you similar performance without needing to overhaul everything else. It might just be what you need!
Wow, I hadn't considered that a CPU upgrade alone could make such a difference. I feel like I'm a couple of generations behind!
