Hello, I bought my pc brand new in 2019 and it's all good and well but I'm just after a bit more performance. I was wondering if it was worth upgrading as I want to run open world games on high / ultra with good fps. I also only get around 120/140fps on warzone so feel like I would like an upgrade.

PC Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X Six Core CPU
GPU: 8GB AMD RADEON RX 5700 XT
Motherboard: ASUS TUF X470-PLUS GAMING
RAM: 16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB)
PSU: CORSAIR 650W VS SERIES VS-650 POWER SUPPLY

Basically, is it worth upgrading, if so, what's the best things to upgrade? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Would upgrading to a ryzen 7 5700X3D paired with a 4070 super be a good upgrade?

Not too fussed on budget, but best value for money would be ideal. As I don't need anything extremely overkill.

If you aren't too fussed about the budget, a 4090 is 100% the way to go, the card is just something else, 240 fps steady in 2k for warzone.

I feel like with my current setup that's extremely overkill. That's like throwing an N/A v12 engine into a fiat 500. Would be better, but not optimal.

An RTX 4090 will NOT work with that PSU.

I would personally replace the PSU before a GPU upgrade. 650W is sufficient for most systems, but the VS units from Corsair are poor quality.

AMD GPU's tend to perform better in Warzone than NVidia. RX 7800XT or RX 7900XT are probably the move, but stick with NVidia if you want, just buy the best GPU you can justifiably afford, as long as you have a suitable PSU.

And yes, 5700X3D would be the move for CPU upgrade IMO, or a 5800X3D, whichever is better value when you purchase. No point spending all the cash for a socket upgrade and DDR5 when a 57/58X3D will easily see you out another good few years.

Sure but then make sure to have a 4K monitor also. No point in pulling a 4090 with no 4K.
