i'd first buy something like a 5700X and 32GB of RAM, sell the 3600 and the old RAM and look how much you'll have left for a GPU afterwards.
Maybe after NVidia releases a new box for their current GPUs we will see a sale or a price drop.

32 GB is absolutely not meaningless for gaming. Many games almost require it at this point.Or just a bog standard 5600, would be a nice boost, while leaving more money for GPU. 32GB RAM is meaningless for gaming.

you can't even play warzone with 16GB on a fresh installation of windows, fully debloated and without ANYTHING running in the background without having 16GB 100% filled with stuttering.
as soon as you have something else open in the background 16GB of RAM is barely enough. and it has been for a couple years now.
just while writing this and with escape from tarkov sitting in the menu, HWInfo open and firefox (nothing in auto start, clean system) i am at 14.7GB
32 GB is absolutely not meaningless for gaming. Many games almost require it at this point.
OP, wait for 4070 Super, is basically a 4070 Ti but for $600.

This is the crux. You can never fully ignore CPU bottlenecks, even a 14900KS will be CPU bottleneck some games at high-enough framerates - but for AAA games that are graphically intensive the R5 3600 is currently good enough to feed frames to a 7800XT without leaving any significant GPU performance on the table.I'd also point out you're about to be CPU bottlenecked in high-paced competitive games like CoD MW2, Counter-Strike, LoL etc but in AAA games with everything on Ultra... GPU will mostly be your limiting factor. Even if that GPU is a 7800 XT, yes.
So if you are a triple-A maximum fidelity gamer and your displays ain't capable of 100+ Hz refresh rates you'll be fine. Yet I agree with orators above, waiting for prices correction upon RTX 40 Super release will make sense.

Yeh I still run everything on 16GB just fine. On a 8700K. I lose about 20-25% of my frames on a 7900XT. Probably a LOT more in games like Farthest frontier and other build/sim games. But for shooters? Its fine, the odd exception of a shit F2P does not make the rule, OP should realize this. Im usually still mostly GPU bound.Fair enough, for the stuff I play (the heaviest stuff is probably Starfield and RDR2) it made zero difference going from 16 to 32GB.
Exactly this. Dont deny yourself also the experience of running a new GPU on your current CPU. Analyze the differences. Get a feeling for how different parts influence performance. Its valuable experience.For high-refresh gaming then yes, a faster CPU would be money well spent but even then, you buy a new CPU after you've bought a 240Hz+ monitor.

Yes CPU bottleneck will be present but unless you want the absolute highest FPS you can get out of the 7800XT it will be fine.would like change my RTX 2070 with RX 7800 XT .

AgreePersonally I'd do the upgrade and worry about the cpu later when you can upgrade the whole platform even if that means a next generation amd/intel 6 core budget motherboard and ok ddr5 vs dropping more money into am4. Definitely go X3D or nothing if you do upgrade in socket.

For the X3d you forgot much improved 1% lows.Agree
—————————
Take the 7800XT now because the 2070 is stretched at 1440p and you can wait for Zen5 or Intel’s equivalent at that time.
And since your board has limited power delivery system that can safely take up to a 5700X only, better wait for a CPU/board/Ram upgrade.
Going from R5 3600 to a R7 5700X isn’t much upgrade in most games. It will be like +5-10% on avg if not less. If you look benchmarks with 3600 vs 5700X with a gpu in between 2070-7800XT you’ll see on some games a +2-3% gain and on a few best cases around +15%.
With a 5800X3D gains can be uplifted but still you are looking a range of +5-20% vs 3600. And the +20% again on a few best cases

Sure thing, and absolute numbers can’t tell all the truth. Overall experience could be a bit or a lot smoother but does it worth the “investment”?For the X3d you forgot much improved 1% lows.

True, it's a better comparison.A 4090 based test has little to no value here.
The subject is going from 2070 to 7800XT and if a CPU upgrade would be better and/or necessity after GPU upgrade.
Below some tests with a 3600, 5600, 5800X3D involved and GPUs 6600XT, 6950XT which is very close to the 2070>>7800XT upgrade.
See for yourselves what is worth more on a platform that it’s lifespan is ending with a low/midrange B450 board that could struggle with a 100A/100W CPU.

From Ryzen 5 3600 to 5800X3D: The Big Upgrade
Going from user feedback, it sounds like many are planning a final AM4 upgrade and you may be most interested in going all out on the 5800X3D,...www.techspot.com
A better card can be transferred to the next build what ever that may be, but a CPU purchase on AM4 is just that…
So no, talking with absolutes and periods is not the wisest thing to do if you can’t take account all aspects.
Sure you can upgrade the GPU now, but you won't get the FPS to the ground with a struggling CPU. That's why it would be wise to upgrade the CPU first. Sure, upgrading the platform to AM5 would be more future proofing, but the OP didn't mention his desire to do that. So upgrading to a 5800X3D would be the most cost effective way to gain loads of extra frames."When CPU limited, the 5800X3D offers Ryzen 5 3600 owners massive performance gains. Using the Radeon 6950 XT at 1080p we see on average 48% greater 1% lows, with average frame rates boosted by 46%. Even at 1440p, the 5800X3D provided up to 35% greater performance on average. Looking at 1% lows between the various games tested with the Radeon 6950 XT, we see that the 5800X3D could under the right conditions more than double frame rates, seen in F1 2021 and The Riftbreaker.
We also saw over 70% performance gains in seven of the 23 games tested with most games showing over a 50% uplift, hence the 51% gain on average. There were just 5 games where the margin was less than 20%, and two of them were heavily GPU limited. Basically, when you need the CPU power, the 5800X3D will offer big gains for 3600 owners."

True, it's a better comparison.But I don't get your argument. You either linked the wrong review or didn't read it, because it also validates my point.

Sure, upgrading the platform to AM5 would be more future proofing, but the OP didn't mention his desire to do that.
