Anyone have experience with Keychron boards?

With MSFS 2024 a few days away, was making me think I should take more advantage of the monitor (Samsung Neo 57") currently got the 3080ti/5800x - any point in upgrading to one of/both 7800x3d/4090? (after donating a kidney of course)

If you don't want to sacrifice an organ you could grab a 5700x3d and wait for RTX 50 series and grab a 5080. That way you'll be able to use the same motherboard and a 5080 is going to (most likely) match a 4090 on performance if not beat it a bit and will only be at a fraction of the price of what the 4090 is. That's unless you really want the VRAM of a 4090 type card. Also if NVIDIA make any update to DLSS exclusive to 50 you'll be able to use that too. Don't underestimate those 3Dvcache Ryzen CPUs either. The 5800x3d (sadly been discontinued and replaced by the 5700x3d and 5600x3d) is a monster and still the third best gaming CPU in nearly everything but the 5700 and 5600x3d are usually now third and fourth. If I didn't routinely build new every 4'ish years I'd have swapped out my 5900x for a 5800x3d myself and completely skipped AM5.
