Which CPU with a 9070XT? I have DDR4 RAM and ideally don't want to spend on DDR5
Maybe this is a pipe dream or I am just an idiot. I thought I'd finally upgrade my PC, I still run an 8GB 2070 Super, which is at it's limits for 1440p gaming. I thought "well I'll just upgrade my GPU, CPU, MoBo and PSU accordingly" so I can keep using all my other parts, not needing to spend on the RAM crisis as the DDR4 to DDR5 jump isn't that big and my case should fit everything.
After looking around and thinking on settling for the classic 9800X3D and 9070XT build, I realized: I need an AM5 socket. My Mobo uses AM4 and DDR4 RAM. AM5 only support DDR5 RAM.
My current CPU is a Ryzen 7 3700X, which accordign to all I found would (unsurprisingly, given its age) bottleneck a 9070XT. IS there a good CPU option? Or should I take the DDR5 hit and basically just build a whole new PC? Or wait and try to to keep going with what I have?
The GPU would cost around 675€, so in total I'd likely end around the 1k mark depending on specific components, if I don't need the RAM.
P.S. I hate how the whole question basically ends up boiling down to "should I upgrade during the RAM crisis" again.
