General advice am4 to am5 upgrade
Hello, looking for general upgrade advice. Budget of around $1200 - $1800 at most. Currently on am4 with a 5800x3d, 64gb ram and an asus x570 mobo. Will be reusing case/cooler/gpu/psu and drives. Planning on upgrading cpu/mobo and ram to below and giving the 5800x3d/64 gig to a mate, I gave him my previous 3800x/32 gb ram, and taking the old chip and ram back for a NAS/home server pc in an old case with a 650w psu.
Cpu wise I think the 7800x3d should be a good chip, if price is close maybe even the 9800x3d. Motherboard wise im just looking between a b850 or x870 with at least 3 nvme slots, so gigabyte and asus boards are what I have been checking out currently run 2 nvme drives (1tb boot and 2tb game) and an old 1tb sata ssd and 2 1tb hdds. I am considering aiming for 48gb of ram, or 64 as would like to stay close to what I have currently but general pricing seems horrendous.
I know some companies sometimes run prebuilts without gpu but not sure if those sales will be any time soon.
Any advice is absolutely appreciated, thanks.
