Hello,
currently my setup is mentioned on my profile. But to make it easier my key parts.
Well I am playing on 1440p and when I play I tend to notice that my GPU isn't fully utilized when playing games. Since I have a somewhat of a older mid-range processor I realized that I need a new, faster one.
My rig is only for gaming / light work. Definitely not heavy CPU loads such as rendering etc. No overclocking planned. My budget sits at around 500 Euro.
I have been looking into upgrade options and three (possibly four) upgrades came to my mind:
What upgrade path would you take if you were me?
Thanks

- Keep AM4 and upgrade CPU to Zen3 (5800X, 5700X, 5800X3D). Motherboard supports Zen 3(D).
- Switch to Intel 1700 (possibly 12600K / 12700K) with DDR4
- Wait for Raptor lake (and hope it supports DDR4)
What upgrade path would you take if you were me?
Thanks
