I think your PSU cannot afford the upgrade, grab a used very good condituon corsair 750W PSU from Amazon warehouse at $58

5800x + B550 from Amazon at around $350

64GB RAM looks not necessary. Probably you can consider upgrade to DDR4 CL16 3600MHz 16GB or 32GB @around $150, or save some money no upgrade.

NVME SSD? maybe another $100

GPU, hard to tell, wait till GTC to make a decision. But you still have at least $500 left, even enough for a 4070
I run 32GB now and it's not nearly enough. I run some heavy duty VMs take need tons of RAM.

Thx for all the feedback!
120 AIOs are universally garbage so that doesn't say much. These chips are pretty easy to cook on a 240+ if you don't want to overclock. Little bit of undervolting while maintaining boost clocks will do the trick.

I've been waiting patiently to upgrade my PC for the new gen cards and the new graphics cards. I am running a Intel 4690K and GTX 970.

The things I want to keep are my:

1. 550W Platinum fanless power supply
2. Case (Fractal design R5)
3. My Noctua NH-U14S fan cooler.

Things I should replace:
1. (current) 32 > 64GB of RAM
2. Processor
3. Mobo
4. Graphics card (GTX970 > ______??______)

What do you guys think? Get new gen or last year's? Trying to keep a budget of $1200

This price is tempting if you already have a mb.

But I have to replace mb anyway, makes me hesitate either should I go with previous gen or wait a couple months to seize some discounts on DDR5 and new gen.

So I just upgraded to a 5600x at $200. Is it worth the $50 to return that and get this one instead?

I have ASrock B350m pro4 with 1700X. Will this be a good upgrade?

You get two more cores, if the difference is $50 then I would say yes.

I'll answer yours if you can answer mine, keeping my 5600X or buying this?
Can you return your 5600x? If so, $45 for ~10fps more in games seems like a good deal to me. But only in the situation of a returnable CPU. I wouldn't spend another $245 to buy this over and existing 5600x.

Just one thing to keep in mind, the 5800X is a HOT chip. Hottest one I've ever seen. I had a 120 AIO on a mid tower case, and my temps during gaming were bouncing off of 90-92 degrees during gaming which is thermal throttling (so it would go higher). Once I got a 360 AIO and a bigger case with 2x more fans, the temps came down to the mid to high 70s during gaming, which is still pretty warm.
