I built this PC back in 2017 to jump on the Zen bandwagon, it has served me well but it's showing its age terribly more and more. I wanted to upgrade a year ago but decided to wait the shortage craze out. Although the shortage eased, my financial worries hardened. So for a while I've been wrestling with the question of dropping three hundred or so bucks on a couple of drop-in upgrades or wait even more to let the prices of AM5 to settle down and future proof.
TL;DR:
Should I get a cheap AM4 main and Zen 3 CPU (Asus ROG Strix B550-F at €152 + 5600X) or wait till I can go for a higher end AM5 setup?
My build right now that I use for mostly Davinci Resolve and Ableton Live, I don't game much on it cause right now my PS5 setup is a much better rig.
