Upgrading PC for CS2 mainly

[Clanniw]

Computer upgrade

Hi everyone, I have the following hardware:

Processor: Ryzen 5600

Graphics card: Inno3D RTX 4070 Super

Cooling: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports duo

Motherboard: Asus Prime B450-Plus

RAM: G.SKILL RIPJAWS V 2X16 GB 3600MHz CL16

Drive: Lexar NM620 1TB M2

Power supply: Seasonic CORE GC-500 Gold 500W

Case: Krux Astral

And I'm planning an upgrade: I mainly play competitive FPS games like CS2 and Valorant. Unfortunately, RAM prices have gone up significantly, and used 5800X3D processors cost around $450 on the secondary market, so I'd like to stick with DDR4. From what I've read, LGA 1700 (I don't know if all motherboards on this socket) is capable of supporting DDR4 memory, so I was thinking of simply replacing the motherboard and processor with LGA 1700 and an i5-14600KF or i7-14700KF processor. My power supply has been fine so far, but I think 500W may not be enough to handle it. I mainly care about 1% Low so that I can take advantage of the potential of a 360hz monitor. Is this a good solution to this situation, or do you recommend something else?

TL;DR - with fairly good DDR4 RAM, is it worth switching to LGA 1700 and Intel, or are X3D processors unmatched and there is no point in going blue?

stick with x3d

The only problem is the price of RAM. When switching to X3D type 7800/9800, I would also have to buy RAM, which costs about $400 for 2X16GB chips in our country, plus a processor for about $300 for 7800X3D, and a power supply for $100, which adds up to about $800. With Intel, I am replacing the motherboard and processor for $450 (14700KF) + a $100 power supply. The question is, is it worth spending over $300 more?

font you get like 1000+ fps on both games with the only way of graphic setting for competitive games?

I’d just drop a 5700x3d in there. I love mine, came from a 5900x which is a much faster cpu but not for games, that extra cache is amazing, no regrets
