Should I upgrade from the Ryzen 7 3700X to the Ryzen 7 5800X3D?
Apologies if I'm doing this wrong. Don't think I've ever utilized this community stuff. Wasn't sure what category to select. In addition to the Ryzen 7 3700X, I have 32GB of RAM and now an RTX 4080 up from an RTX 3070. I also swapped out my 850W PSU for a 1000W one. Is my Ryzen 7 3700X essentially bottlenecking my 4080?
