Upgrading to AM5 wasn't compelling to me even last summer before things went bonkers; I'm still very content with my 5800x and 64GB of DDR4.

Trying to take the plunge on that now sounds like a nightmare.

I got lucky on the timing and got 9800X3D + 64GB DDR5 before prices increased.

Your machine is sweet and probably runs just as fast on most tasks. I wouldn't be in n a hurry to upgrade.

I upgraded from an old Intel i7.
