Hi! Im bothered and torn between choosing Gen 4 or Gen 5. Im planning to buy a new gaming rig by November-December. Im currently running Ryzen 5 2600 x RX 570; I had this since 2018 that's why im planning to build a completely new one (I'll be giving this to my lil sister instead; so no parts out) Im from the Philippines (This might matter when it comes to prices)

My preferences are: Would like to try 1440p, i mostly prefer AMD (CPU and GPU, but you can try and change my mind), im looking for performance and future proof. Planning to play same God Of War, Ghost of Tsushima, Throne and Liberty, Valorant, Dota LOL and the likes. So its pretty scattered lol.

Here's my choices: (Would translate the prices into $)

AM4:
Ryzen 5 5600 @ $99 / Ryzen 5 5600x @ $103
MSI Pro-VDH B550M @ $109 / Gigabyte B550M DS3H @ $103 / Asrock B550M Pro 4 @ $97
T-Force TUF Delta RGB DDR4 3200 Mhz 16GBx2 @ $88
Gigabyte Radeon RX 7700 XT Gaming OC 12GB @ $510 / PowerColor Fighter Radeon RX 6750 XT @ $350 / Asus Dual Radeon RX 6750 XT @ $417
Corsair RM 750e @ $128
= $930-950
AM5:
Ryzen 5 7600 + MSI Pro B650M-A Wifi Bundle @ $388
TForce Delta RGB DDR5 6000MHz 16GBx2 @ $118
Gigabyte Radeon RX 7700 XT Gaming OC 12GB @ $510
Corsair RM 750e @ $128
= $1144


DarkFlash DK415M
DarkFlash DN360 AIO Cooler

Now, im considering the AM5 because im thinking of future-proofing. (Not that i will upgrade, based on my exp most of the time i don't, not unless needed) but more of the longevity of the rig. I would like this rig to survive for like 5-6 years and be able to play at least medium on 1440p during that time. That's the only reason. Do you think the difference in price and the specs itself justify my reason?

Please help me make my mind. Feel free to change some of the parts if you think there's a better option. Here's the pricelist i was looking to: Pricelist and most of the parts are from there, if you don't see it there then its from Facebook Marketplace.

Hope you can help me. Thanks!
