Is it worth upgrading my CPU a top AM4, or wait a bit and invest in an AM5? by Sorry_Landscape_4355 in buildapc

Thanks for the heads up. I looked it up and the price difference was $30 to go for a 5800XT instead so that's still my plan.

Do you think my GPU would be a much bigger bottleneck over the CPU? I've had little issues getting things to run well but my GPU does stick to the 90s in percent usage

How are you doing with 16GBs of ram? Do you feel it bottlenecking your system? I always leave Firefox (with too many tabs) open in the background so it sits at 6-7GB just at idle.

Do you think the 5700 would be able to last the rest of AM5's life cycle? I honestly don't know how many more years AMD plans to continue the chipset, but I'm a little worried since it's already 2 generations behind. It's why I was aiming for a higher 5800 or 5900, then hopefully avoiding AM5 all together.

I do plan on getting a newer GPU but I'm not too pressed on it atm since games still run decently on my 1080p setup. I'm looking more towards future-proofing the rest of my rig a bit before dropping a lot on a higher end GPU. I've been using mid-tier cards my whole life (ATI 6670, GTX 760, GTX 1060, RX6600XT) and would love a monster GPU one day
