I built my PC back in 2022 and want to upgrade to improve performance. I primarily play CS2, and recently upgraded from a 120hz ultrawide to a 27" 360hz OLED monitor. Below is my current build:

  • Motherboard: Gigabyte B550M DS3H

  • CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics, 3801 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s)

  • GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Ventus 2X 8G OCV1 LHR, 1695MHz, 8GB GDDR6 Memory

  • RAM: Kingston FURY Beast 32GB (2x16GB), 200MHz DDR4

  • Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S, Premium CPU Cooler with NF-A15 PWM 140 mm Fan

  • PSU: NZXT C850 - NP-C850M-EU - 850 Watt Power Supply - 80+ Gold Certified

Can anyone recommend the best upgrade path? Every price I can see for an x3D chip is highly inflated in price (+€450 for a 5700x3D), and upgrading to AM5 means buying DDR5 RAM at probably the worst time. Any advice?
