Question Upgrade or wait for AM6?

[Zanith]

Hi just want to pick some peoples brains on tech choices

Current System

i59600k
MSI z390m
16GB Patriot viper 3200 C16
GTX 1070 8gb

Looking to upgrade GPU (maybe 9000 or 5000 series after independant benchmarks) but after that. Should I bother with something on AM5? or just wait for AM6 and just run an overclock till then?

I am wondering if I can still squeeze some years out this old system with just a new GPU and maybe some more RAM, even with a possible CPU bottleneck? also aware that the new Intel cards don’t pair will with an old CPU like the 9600k

AMD have stated that the AM5 platform will be as long as, if not longer than, the AM4platform in terms of support.

I'd invest on the AM5 platform with the 9000 series processors but invest with a B850 chipset board. Out of curiosity, why do you need to upgrade?

Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
