PC Upgrade (AMD Only)

Hi!

Next november I will upgrade my system and I would like to know from you guys what do you think the best parts would be.

As for the processor and GPU, I was thinking about getting the Ryzen 5 5800X and the Radeon RX 7700 XT. Concerning the motherboard, I was thinking about the ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming II.

Did not decide nothing yet about storage and RAM memory (keeping what I already have of these parts would be an option too).

For me, playing at 1080p and 2K resolutions just above 60 fps are fine, but I was thinking maybe getting a 50 inches 4K TV (took I look at the LG UHD UR8750 last week).

I do not think I will have to replace my power supply (but I would like to know your thoughts about this part as well).

Budget (not included the TV price): $1,000 USD.

What do you think the best options are?

We have to know all your hardware options and what are the prices on your region.
I wouldn’t buy the 5800X.
Go for 5700X, 5700X3D or go straight to 5800X3D.

For 4K the RX 7700XT will struggle a bit or much depending the game and settings.

+1 on the 5800x3d max out the am4 platform

instead of any AM4 CPU i'd only buy a 5700X3D or a 5800X3D if it's less than 20-30 dollars apart. But i'd highly recommend spending the money for AM5 since you can buy a Zen 6 X3D chip in half a decade and use the board for maybe 7-8 years and you're always up to date for just an extra 100-150 bucks today.

"For me, playing at 1080p and 2K resolutions just above 60 fps are fine": 7700XT/7800XT/7900GRE (considering AAA Games in Unreal Engine 5 without ray tracing. these cards are 1080p60+ Cards nowadays.)
4K Gaming (Native! not upscaled 1080p/1440p) under a 7900XTX, 4080/4090? maybe e-sport titles. otherwise forget about it.

would be worth considering getting an am5 board as that would least keep option open that few years if cpu starting feel little slow then you would least have 9000 series cpu's to drop in.

Defo go for a AM5, better in every way. And longevity surpasses any $ saved on AM4.
