At this point i think it’s better to save that money and invest in a newer platform if the cpu fails. At least where I live a 5800x3d is more than a 7700x, ddr5 is pretty cheap only motherboards are still expensive, but you’d have a real upgrade path again.
Also if you’re on a 1440p monitor, upscaling doesn’t do anything right? Your monitor won’t suddenly output more pixels.
