Hey everyone! I have a B450f gaming motherboard and a 750W PSU with ATX12V v2.52. I'm considering upgrading my graphics card to either the 9070 or the 7800xt, and later on, possibly getting the 5800x3d to prevent any bottlenecking with the GPU. My goal is to play games like Black Myth at 2K high settings. Do you think I should go for it now, or is it better to hold off until prices stabilize? I'm based in Sweden, so I'm also curious how the ongoing trade war might impact future prices. I'd love to hear your thoughts! Cheers!

Honestly, you might not even need to worry about your Ryzen 5 3600 bottlenecking. A lot of benchmarks show it performs quite well. If you want to upgrade your CPU later, I'd recommend looking at the 5700x3d—it’s cheaper and still performs great, just slightly below the 5800x3d.
The 7800xt will be more than enough for 2K ultra settings! You can definitely pair it with any Ryzen 5 series for gaming, and the lower models will keep your GPU cooler too. Plus, the 7800xt will have longevity with support in the years to come. Good luck with your build!
Thanks, I appreciate it! I've actually placed an order for the 7800xt. I’m just worried about future games like Black Myth demanding more performance or new tech like DLSS 4.0, but I guess I shouldn't stress too much about the CPU bottleneck right now.
Thanks for the insight! I've seen some benchmarks too, especially with higher-tier CPUs like the 5600, since finding a 3600 is tough these days—especially for gaming at 1440p.
