I'm currently using a Ryzen 5 9600X with a 5080 GPU while gaming on a 1080p monitor. I'm trying to figure out whether I should upgrade to a Ryzen 7 7800X3D for better performance in games like Hogwarts, Cyberpunk, COD, Battlefield, and Valorant, or if I should just upgrade my monitor to 1440p. What do you think?

Honestly, your 5080 and 9600X setup is still pretty solid. If you're feeling like it's time for an upgrade, I'd lean towards getting a good 1440p monitor instead. That would enhance your gaming experience way more than just changing the CPU. Plus, if you really care about playing Valorant, you might see some gains there, but overall, the monitor is where I'd invest first.
Yeah, that makes sense! I was just worried about bottlenecking with the GPU. Thanks for the advice!
