If you're on a 3700X you'll need a new board and RAM for AM5 Assuming your motherboard has video outputs it'll be much cheaper to stay on AM4 and throw in a 57

- carom 4y agoI just fell into this hole. Started a rebuild and the only thing moving to the new computer is my 3090.
- arprocter 4y agoYeah - I was debating switching from 5600X to 5800X3D, but it probably makes more sense to wait for the AM5 dust to settle and redo the whole thing
- TacticalCoder 4y agoI think I'll just get rid of it (give it to the wife or something): there are several things I don't like about it. No USB-C port (sure I could add an adapter), only 1 Gb/s ethernet on the mobo, etc. I'm not even sure I can just put a 5700G in it without having the flashing mobo. I'll probably build something around an Asus B650-Plus mobo: it's got USB-C stock, 2.5 Gbit/s ethernet, DDR5 (I know it's pricier and boots slower, but it's faster too), etc. I'll reuse one of the NVMe .2 SSD I've got laying around so the whole build should set me back 1 K EUR (with 32 GB of DDR5), which is quite okay.
