Question Upgrade to the AM5 platform?

[Fourro]

Hello, so I'm considering upgrading my several-years-old PC.

What I have:

What I may buy:

Are the components fully compatible? What issues may I have? Is the upgrade good overall (don't pay attention to the GPU - it will get its upgrade sometime too)?
And what concerns me is that Zen 4 likes RAM with tight timings at 6000 MHz, but more likely that particular RAM kit is Hynix M-die-based and it's pretty hard to find it with the Hynix A-die chips. Checked some reviews and Zen 4 was doing particularly good when paired with some 6000 MHz 30-38-38-38-96-96 RAM - what's the chance of running that kit with these timings and what's needed to be done for that to happen?
Thanks for your help!

Do you plan on future proofing your build?

Do you plan on future proofing your build?

I plan on upgrading my GPU, this year may be.
I might upgrade the CPU if it's necessary in 2.5-3 years.
I don't really want to upgrade the RAM in the foreseeable future.
And I don't plan on upgrading the rest of the build within the next 3 years.
If it doesn't answer your question - rephrase it.

What current motherboard/cpu ram do you have in the current build? If you’ve got an am4 build, you might find you can do a bios update and upgrade the cpu on a budget for a zen 3, then have enough for a gpu upgrade as well.

I'd just like to get rid of my current CPU+RAM+MOBO combo and build something pretty solid that can be further upgraded when needed (e.g. replacing the CPU for even more cores or X3D or whatever) but keeping the RAM kit from this upgrade, 32GB should be enough and I'm wondering only about setting some tightened timings at 6000 MHz.
And I'm kind of ready to spend the money that the specified upgraded combo costs.

One of the questions is if that motherboard is good or there's some potential inconveniences or even issues that I might get.

And it's pretty surprising that there's so few replies, wondering why...


Thing is that there's some frametime spikes issue in games with my current build (there's no overheat 100%) and I surely don't want to spend any time testing what's wrong with it in some service center or whatever. If it turns out to be the GPU - who cares, gonna upgrade it too in the future anyway.

You could get a B650E mobo like the Asrock Riptide and put that saved cash towards a 7800X3D.

Unless you have multiple SSDs and planning on a heavy CPU usage work task like video rendering and what not, i would say the B650E would do the job just fine as the X670E Strix mobo.

I would refrain from tweaking the memory settings as the AGESA code for AM5 is not mature yet. We dont want any problem like the cpu pin burnout problem that happened recently.
