Hi,

my old machine is slowly showing its age, whilst the 1800x and 1080TI were top of the line 8 years ago, now they struggle to get acceptable FPS in titles that I want to play. I have a budget of about 1000€ (ish) and do not need to worry about SSDs (I can use my old M.2 and Sata Drive)

I was eye-ing:

CPU; 7600X (Definitely want an AM5 for future proofing) but I need 1440p performance that is giving me breathing room for at least another 5 years ( I do not plan to upgrade regularly )

GPU: 7900 GRE/XT (Personally I want an affordable card that gives me great 1440p performance for years to come and while DLSS 3/4 is interesting and frame generation does sound interesting it feels like I cannot afford the same performance for the same price)

RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000 MHZ ( probably G.Skill or Corsair, just need 32GB of ram, do not care really )

CASE: I am not picky, decent airflow and pre-installed fans (2x Front and 1x Back is all I need)

Mainboard: 620/650 (Do I need a 650? If so the cheapest with 4x RAM Slots and hopefully 2 x m.2 slots)

PSU: 750W (probably partially modular or fully modular. Enermax, Corsair, Bequiet, around 80€ I hope)

Now come the questions:

Do I wait for 5070 (not TI) to be announced? Do we expect the new AMD Graphicscard to make an improvement worth waiting for at the same price point? Since it seems Nvidia does not produce enough cards, it feels like even besides the MSRP that team red will be more affordable.
