I just upgraded my desktop after running a AMD Phenom for about 10 years. About 3 years of that it was switched off.

Went for Ryzen 7 5700X, 32GB DDR4, Gigabyte X570S AERO, and the same SSD as you. Stuck with my old RX5500XT as I don't game. It's crazy crazy fast!

Thought about going for AM5 etc but figured by the time I upgrade next, there will be some new SSD connector or GFX slot that will require a major upgrade at a later date anyway. How much noticeable gain will you really notice from going AM5?

I'd put the $$$ saved towards a better GFX if you're into gaming, or better monitor/s.
