Hello good people,
Recently my MSI 2070 died and below is my 2019 build.
Meanwhile, I can use the GPU at 800x600 for non-graphic tasks, I am considering upgrading to 4070 super and maybe the CPU/building AM5.
So I have these questions
🔹GPU: [DEAD] MSI RTX 2070 ARMOR
🔹RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 16 GB @3000MHz XMP CL16
🔹AIO: Corsair H150i PRO 360 Rad
🔹MB: Gigabyte X470 AORUS GAMING 7 WIFI
🔹CASE: Corsair Crystal 570x RGB
🔹PSU: Corsair TXM Gold 650 W 80+ Gold Semi
🔹STORAGE: Kingston A400 480 GB 2.5" SSD + Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB NVMe
🔹FANS: Corsair LL120 RGB x9-Push-Pull Config
🔹MONITORS: Two 27 inch 1080p Monitors @ 144Hz & 75Hz
As per my research, a lot of people consider the upgrade and would stay with the build till AM6 but I am just concerned about the age of the build coming close to 6 years & if for example, the motherboard died in a year, then the CPU upgrade would be a big loss.
I play a lot of games, do some coding, & a lot of video & photo editing.

So I have these questions
- Upgrade to 5700x3D/5800x3D with a new 4070 Super or build a new AM5 with 7800x3D with the same new 4070 Super?
- If I go with the upgrade, would the existing AIO and RAM be good enough for the new CPU & GPU combo?
- If going with the new build, should I wait for the Zen 5 release and test benchmarks compared to the 7800x3D? I can wait till August end, max + the availability/higher launch price could be an issue in asia.
