I'm looking to upgrade or rebuild my system and need some guidance. I'm currently running an Intel i7 9700KF (I'll update the motherboard info later). I just purchased a 9060XT graphics card and I'm considering getting a 9800X3D CPU. What motherboard should I aim for to pair with the 9800X3D? Also, my current power supply is 750W—will I need something beefier? Finally, I'm planning to switch from 32GB DDR4 RAM to 32GB DDR5 (I found a good deal on some). However, I've heard about potential issues with the 9800X3D that I should be aware of before making a purchase. Thanks for any advice you can share!

The 5600XT could be a solid choice. It's fast enough to complement the 9060XT effectively, and you can keep your DDR4. If you're curious about performance, check out these benchmarks from TechSpot. Plus, I've made a quick PC part list for you: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600XT for $149.99 and MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI motherboard for $90.99—total comes to about $240.98. Good value!
Thanks for the recommendations! What if I've already bought the DDR5 and I really want to use it?
