Question Upgrade to AM5?

[era3037]

Hey, I'm wondering if I should upgrade to AM5 rather than my current setup having a 3700X and AM4 socket. I want to switch my GPU to something that implements the MESA standard like the AMD GPUs as I want to move from xorg into Wayland for the performance benefits for what I do. I'm wondering if I'll end up with a form of bottleneck and if I should just throw out the AM4 and just build a new PC. Thanks!

Switching to AM5 also means new memory. Is a new CPU, motherboard, and memory in your budget?

Other than possibly upgrading your GPU, is your current configuration not meeting your needs?

I mostly program and compile some heavy stuff in Rust etc. anything is "in my budget" but I haven't noticed my computer being lagish atm, it would mostly be for future proof if I decide to upgrade it.

I would suggest looking at GPU options right now. There are new AM5 CPUs coming out soon. Might be worth the delay.

The 5700X3D is still a great CPU. You can definitely use it for a few more years before it becomes obsolete.

I would suggest you to wait for the next gen Radeon cards for the GPU.

I get the idea that it may be in my best interest to wait for the new GPUs and CPUs. Thank you

I have a 850W PSU and my 3700X has a 65W TDP. I don't want to screw myself, I will also have an AMD GPU that hopefully has a lower TDP to my RTX 2070S

the 2070 Super is a 250W card.

My 7800X3D is 120W and 4070ti Super is 285W. I am using an 850W PSU.

I don't quite understand, what MESA has to do with GPU upgrade and
why GPU upgrade also would require entire platform upgrade?
Enlighten us, please.
