Hi guys,
Back for a bit after a hiatus on some upgrade advice.
Rig is a Ryzen 3700x on an X570 Crosshair Hero + 32GB RAM.
Primary intent is gaming. GPU is an RTX4080. No plan to change that till Sep'26.
Idea is to go for a 7800x3d CPU.
Confusion points:
> Heard a lot about AMD X670 issues especially with x3d CPUs. Is this still an issue?
> X870E is out soon. I also read about basically no changes, apart from USB 4. Would it be worth it for improved stability or generational advancements to the ecosystem?
> Wait for an 9xxx series x3d?
> 16GBx2 DDR5 is fine, or would I benefit at all with 32GBx2 (assuming I move to a 4K res, currently on 2K)?
> Stick with X570 and move to an a 5800x3d?
Appreciate any experiences or 'gyaan'/links.
