Any idea what you want to replace your current setup with?

I haven't decided fully yet, I was think of going with a newer AMD CPU, possibly the 9800x3d, though as I game in 4k something like a 7700x would suffice.

As for the GPU, I'm waiting for more info on the upcoming models before deciding. A 4080super or similar is probably the minimum I go for considering I already have a 3070. I'm not too enthusiastic about the Nvidia 5000s, the price will likely be madness, and the VRAM on anything other than 5090 is worrying if spec rumors are to be believed. I suppose budget isn't a limitation for me, but just because I can spend a bunch of cash on a GPU, doesn't mean I will.

AMD GPUs could be an interesting option if they're close to a 4080 in performance for a significantly reduced price. Alternatively, I could always stick with my 3070 for a bit.

Either way, it will be nice modernising my PC, as most of the components are at least 10 years old.

If the rumors are true, then the 8800 should be in that ballpark. The price is a big unknown so far, but like I said above, it looks like both the 7900XT and the 7800XT are dropping in price, probably to make space for the new 8800 in the line-up. As for the price, I'm expecting something like $599, but so far there hasn't been any official prices for AMD's next-gen cards.
