Max out AM4 Build or Jump to AM5?
Hello pals!
I am currently in a pickle trying to decide if I should do a partial upgrade or a full upgrade, especially considering the climate of storage/memory costs today.
I built my pc in 2021, currently my build is: Ryzen 3900x, ASUS ROG STRIX X570-E, 16 x 4 DDR4 Vengeance RGB Pro RAM, Gigabyte Aorus Master RTX 3070, Gigabyte P750GM 750 W 80+ Gold PSU with a 240 AIO.
For background: I stream on Twitch + mostly play games like dead by daylight, resident evil, devil may cry, and red dead redemption, etc. I also use photoshop and illustrator full time as a career and want to be able to play GTA 6 at high specs when it comes out.
I’m looking to upgrade at the bare minimum my CPU + GPU so that I can continue to play at 1440p at close to max specs as possible without issues.
I’m currently stuck between the following:
Sticking with AM4 and keeping majority of my build but upgrading to a RTX 5080 and a Ryzen 5800X3D (and probably in turn needing to upgrade my PSU also) a \~$2000 project.
OR… saying heck it and upgrading my entire build to accommodate AM5 which would include a new MOBO, DDR5 RAM, Ryzen 9800X3D, RTX 5080, etc. about a \~$4200 project.
Which of these options makes the most sense for longevity? Should I keep with AM4 as long as I can or should I splurge and upgrade everything all at once? What would make the most sense given the current volatility of PC building? Thank you everyone!
