Actually, you bring up a question that has been bugging me lately.
How do you calculate where a potential bottleneck will be?
My setup is a X570, 32GB DDR4, Ryzen 7 3700x, RTX 2070 Super, and gazillions of TB of storage on stuff don’t worry about it.
Right now, I can max the GPU no problem. CPU is getting there depending on what I play. RAM I have no idea how it affects game performance just everything else I do.
Is there a formula? Can I just upgrade to a 4080 Ti Super if it fits in my case and power supply? Or do I need to spend the extra 1500 updating everything else

There’s no concrete yes/no answer, it depends on the game you play so much as well.
Some games are really CPU heavy and that will be your bottleneck if there is one, others are primarily GPU heavy and won’t rely on the CPU as much.
Just get a 5700x3D
Bro, you might be onto something. The 4080 Super uses PCIe-4.0 which my motherboard has so no problems there.
But a 5700x3d doesn’t have nearly the jump in performance id expect for throwing in a new $310 CPU.
NOW that being said, you made me look at socket AM4 CPUs and I can get a new Ryzen 9 5900x for $280, AND get the boost I want
5700x3D is $210 on Amazon and will about double your gaming performance.
