That actually seems like a reasonable idea--get the cheaper cpu now, which would still be a big boost over my old system, then swap later when supplies allow.

- myself248 6y agoThat's what I did last year, with a 3200G. It's a functional placeholder for now, still a significant bump over what it replaced, but only temporary. My plan is to wait for Socket AM5 to come out, and get the last-best AM4 offering to stuff into my existing motherboard. That may be complicated by BIOS and chipset support (which effectively means a socket-generation-increment even if the physical connector is the same), but we'll see how far my B450 can take me. And at the time, I'll be adding a discrete GPU, since I'll surely be going to a non-APU chip.
