I've got a solid setup with a B650 motherboard, 32GB of 5200 MHz RAM, an AMD 7900X CPU, a 4070 TI GPU, and an 800-watt PSU. I'm planning to stick with my current graphics card, but I'm wondering if I should upgrade my motherboard for faster RAM and possibly my PSU. What upgrades do you all recommend or think I really need?

If you're considering a CPU upgrade, look at something like the 9800X3D or 9950X3D if you need more cores. But just to clarify, you don’t need a new motherboard for faster RAM. Was the 5200 MHz RAM a default with your prebuilt?
Honestly, your system is already pretty high-end! If you're looking for real upgrades, maybe consider upgrading your monitor or sound system instead. Better visuals and audio can really enhance your gaming experience! Forget about the RAM upgrade for now.
You actually don't need to upgrade much. The 7900X is excellent for gaming with your 4070 TI. Are you even hitting a CPU bottleneck? Everyone's saying 5200 MHz RAM is fine, especially for gaming. Upgrading to faster RAM won't boost performance significantly, especially at higher resolutions. Your PSU seems okay too—if your system runs without issues, you're good there!
