Is it worth staying on AM4 with a $3k budget, or is it time for AM5?
Hey guys, looking for some build direction. I have $3,000 USD set aside for a major performance upgrade. I mostly play modern games and want to push high refresh rates/settings, but I'm struggling with the classic dilemma: max out the AM4 platform or jump ship to AM5?
My current system:
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
- Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Digital
- GPU: GeForce RTX 3060 12GB
- Mobo: MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI
- RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) T-Force DDR4 3200MHz
- Storage: 1TB Kingston NV2 NVMe
- PSU: Generic Non-Modular
- Case: DeepCool CH160 Plus
