This build would be light years faster than your old build, and is both high performance and a great value. In all honesty you should've upgraded awhile ago, no hardware ages gracefully past like 6 years.
Lol hey now... I'm still gaming new games on my 6700k with a gtx1070

I think this looks like a Great value. You'd be saving enough to put extra money toward a better graphics card.

ok so after further research, it sounds like 7800X3D is the way to go....

anyone recommend any GPU for this build and power supply as mine is 550W and over 10 years old??

You are going to need a new case... CPU cooler. You could conceivably keep the rest of the parts but I'd replace those too.

This or 7700X + MSI B650? I am kind of leaning toward the other for the better motherboard.

I chose AM5, it's significantly more power efficient.

Check Newegg for reviews of the Z790-V Prime in this combo; IIRC it has low points due to cost-cutting.

I glanced at Newegg, and this one is good and on sale:

For GPU, it depends on budget and what resolution you want to game at.
Assuming 1440p, you could go with anything between Radeon RX 6700 XT up to the new RX 7800 XT. If you're buying from Newegg, consider their Affirm payment promo if it's still working. Some people prefer Nvidia for specific reasons, but for that you'll have to go with GeForce 4070.

No build will keep you updated. Purchase new components when your use case is no longer satisfied by your current build. I don't know what you do with your PC but if you feel that it's too slow then a new build is pro6right for you. But if your current build is handling your day to day then save your money and upgrade when you actually need it.

I've upgraded from 3, 4, 5 ,6 ,7, 8, 9 ,10, 11, 12 gen thinking I needed to upgrade. Definitely not worth the cost to keep updated. My current daily driver is a 12700k + 3080 ti. I have a spare PC I take to lan parties in my closet that has a 4790k + 1080 ti, plays the games I play perfect at 1080p.

Got the Newegg deal couple weeks ago, same ram and CPU but with a Z690 Tuf D5 mobo.. seems better than this prime board because of the 2.5gbps NIC

I have the Microcenter 7800X3D bundle, 7900XTX, and I went with the Thermaltake Toughpower 1KW power supply. Put it all together on Black Friday.
Honestly I don't like the board. Already had one die on me. Not even sure how. Second board is going strong. It's a nice setup. I'm not one of those guys who builds every year. I wanted to get into pc gaming. What I have should be able to play Excite Bike at max settings

It is the best cpu for gaming for sure and beat the 12900k by a fair margin for gaming. But the 7800x3d CPU alone cost $339 (it was $299 was a short time at MC)
