Need advice with GPU purchase or upgrade to AM5

Hello guys, so I need some help or advice from you guys what to do.

Ok so I have a AM4 build atm and here are the specs:

Ryzen 7 5700x CPU

No GPU

Gigabyte b550i aorus pro ax motherboard

Cooler master v750 watt PSU

2 x 1tb nvme

Alright so I sold my 3060ti GPU and was looking to buy a GPU.8gb was giving me problems especially with crimson desert.

There are two situations here.

In my research I found the Asus prime 9070 oc 16gb and it's priced at €640

And the next choice Asus prime 9070xt 16gb for €780. Basically a €140 difference.abd the difference I can use to saveup and upgrade the CPU.

Nvidia is not an option due the big price gap of the 5070 gpus.but if there are options for Nvidia,which one to check out for. It has to have 16gb.

Is it worth to go for the XT version or the non xt.

The thing is I was considering to upgrade to AM5 but due to budget and it will be expensive I made the choice not to upgrade to AM5.

If I upgrade I would only need a Mobo, CPU and RAM (super expensive). But also a GPU.my budget atm is only at max for a GPU and maybe a CPU.

So I found some post saying that the 5700x can be a bottleneck with the 9070xt.

So I also made the decision to upgrade my CPU to the max to 5800x3d. But I have to save up for the cpu.Higher will not be possible for my Mobo. And I heard that the 5800x3d is the best CPU for gaming at am4 socket.

Whats wise to do. Buy the 9070 oc model and upgrade the CPU in a few months or not upgrade CPU and go for the 9070xt.

Main goal is to play at 1440p mostly.

I play games like, elden ring, crimson desert, poe2, Wuchang fallen feathers and want to play cyberpunk.. I'm not a guy that wants to play the newest games but I want to have the possibility to play newer games also but it's not necessary.

It would be great to get some advice what the options are for me, upgrade not to upgrade, which GPU to buy and upgrade CPU or not.

Or do I have some other options that you guys suggest I can do in my situation.

Trying to make a wise decision here.

Hopefully you guys can give me some guidance.

Thanks in advance.

Gr Roberto.
