Hello everyone,
I'm new to this website and forum and wanted to ask for some advice regarding an upgrade for my current gaming computer.
I added the specs to my profile.
I use my computer almost solely for gaming purposes, while watching some youtube on my second monitor, some browsing or some Netflix.
About 90-95% of my gaming time is spent on Guild Wars 2, but I also like to play some of the newly released games as well, such as Cyberpunk 2077, Baldur's Gate 3, Hogwart's Legacy, etc.
I have been thinking about upgrading my CPU and GPU, as I'm not able to push my graphics as high in these new games (especially CP 2077).
Also, I've read that Guild Wars 2 would be more CPU bound, and that a 5800X3D would be a good CPU for this game.
So I've been thinking about upgrading my CPU to the 5800X3D, putting on a Thermalright Peerless Assassin cooler, and adding 16Gb more of RAM.
The GPU, I've been thinking about waiting a while to see the NVidia Super cards and see how that changes the current landscape of GPU's. I would also need a new PSU for that as well.
I don't have the most knowledge about PC building, so that's why I'm making this post here, hopefully some of you can give me some insights or ask me some questions (because I'm certain I'm not thinking about a lot of things) so I can get a different perspective on things.
Thank you in advance!

. Just wanted to make sure before I installed everything.
