i have the same cpu, but with X570 mobo & Radeon 6800 XT .. you have a lot of headroom there.. then again if you're replacing all but the CPU.. seems like you'd be better off selling it and getting a 7700 or something (better upgrade path than 5700x->5800x3d and then done forever.. currently in a spot where 5700x might net you $100 on ebay and a 7700 might dip to 180 or so)

looks like a 6700 XT can be had under $300

 UG> Get a 850 watt power supply

go big! what if you end up with a used 4090 in 10 years or something

 UG> 550 series mother board

yeah.. needs pcie gen 4..

 UG> 4070 or 5070 gpu

*shrug* i'm cheap..

 UG> new windows licence

if you give in and create an account in windows 11 it's *very* likely logging in to windows 11 on the newer motherboard will just work (activate) regardless of hardware. worth a shot since if it doesn't, you're not waiting on shipping of a cardboard box with a cd

 UG> 2tb ssd
 UG> 32gb slightly speedy ram

hopefully by ssd you meant nvme ssd :D

i duno, *glances at the topic* whoops
