Hey everyone! I'm looking to upgrade my PC to maximize the performance of my RTX 4070 Super. I want to make sure I'm eliminating any bottlenecks and creating a balanced build that won't require upgrades for the next 4 to 7 years. I've only ever used Intel CPUs, but I've noticed that AMD is offering some better and cheaper options lately. I've seen some great Prime Day deals, like the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D, which I'm considering. Here's what I usually use my PC for: gaming at 3440x1440 144Hz, video rendering and editing, streaming, CAD modeling, and occasional VR.
My budget for upgrades is about $700 after selling my old parts. I'm planning to sell my current GPU, CPU, RAM, and motherboard to offset costs, so I might spend a bit more initially. The high-priority upgrades I have in mind include a new CPU, motherboard, RAM, and CPU cooler. I'm also considering a PSU upgrade for future-proofing and possibly a new case that supports USB-C. My current build consists of an Intel i7-8700k, an EVGA SuperNova 650W PSU, and a Phanteks Eclipse P400s case. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the best upgrades for my budget! Thanks a ton!

I put together a build that fits your needs! You might want to consider the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D with an ASRock B850 Pro-A motherboard and 32GB of Patriot Viper Venom DDR5-6000 memory. The total comes to about $698, which fits your budget well. You can find the components listed on PCPartPicker. This build ensures great performance for gaming and your other tasks without breaking the bank!
Thank you! I'll definitely check those parts out.
