yea but getting a 7800x3d also means upgrading your whole system except the gpu?

Not whole system, just motherboard and RAM. I could get some cheapies for ~$175 USD so it's no a massive difference.

You would need a new cpu cooler unless your current one is am5 compatible.

I'd need a new one regardless if I went with a 5800X3D, 5700X or 7800X3D so it's not an extra cost in comparison. The only exception is if I were to go with a 7600.

You can use AM4 compatible coolers on AM5.

Except the GPU, Storage, PSU and chassis. So only half.
