I’m looking to rebuild my PC this year with all new components aside from the graphics card, sticking with the GTX 970 at least for now. I came up with what I thought was a good build, but I’m starting to realize this would’ve been a good build about a year ago, but the CPU (i7 9700K) is increasingly dated compared to AMD offerings.
I’ve heard a lot about the new Ryzen 5600x but of course you can’t actually buy one right now. I started ordering parts like RAM and a case, but I’m holding off on a motherboard and CPU. My question is, is it wise to wait for the 5600x to become available? And if I got one and a b550 mobo, would it require a BIOS update with an earlier AMD cpu that I don’t have?
