Im on a 3800x so something like a 7900x will be a big jump for me, i play DCS a lot and that loves CPU power even at 4k as so much going on in the background.
Im thinking £1500 for a new CPU,MOBO and 64gb RAM.
5950 is a great CPU and will be for many years to come.

That is just too much. Im also using 3800x and was thinking something like 7700x/x670/32gb ( 400$ cpu, 200$ board, 300$ ram). I still need pcie5 nvme and a maybe rx7700xt. Holy crap this hobby is costly.

Exactly. When we're talking about power draw for a gaming rig, the CPU power draw is miniscule compared to the GPU. My 2060 will draw an easy 175-200W during gaming while my 10850K sits there at 30-45W. The 3090 appears to be able to draw 450W and with that, you might draw 100W from a 12900K in a game at peak loads, most of the time probably still at 50W or less.
Talking about CPU power draw while you're running a 3090 is just lame.
