Hey everyone! I’m considering an upgrade for my current PC setup. Right now, I have an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X processor and a Radeon 6700XT graphics card. I’m thinking about upgrading to a Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU and a 7800XT GPU. I’m a bit torn on whether I should upgrade the CPU or GPU first, or if it’s even worth upgrading at all. Any advice?

If you’re in the US and have the funds, I’d say go for the upgrade! Current prices might go up with incoming tariffs, so upgrading sooner could save you some cash.
