When does it make sense to upgrade this build?

GPU — Radeon RX 7900 GRE

The Radeon RX 7900 GRE performs well today, but in 1–2 years the most demanding games will pressure its 16 GB of VRAM. A jump to the mid-high range will be interesting.

CPU — Ryzen 7 9800X3D

The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is not the bottleneck in this build. When you upgrade the GPU, this processor will still be valid.
