I really wish they did another 5800X3D run (or even a 5800X3D XT). I missed the opportunity to buy it and the grey market prices are stupid.

I have a pretty solid AM4 rig; 3080 GPU (which is enough for my needs), x2 32 GB 16 CL 3600 memory. Tons of storage for HDD, PCIe 4 and PCIe 3 for different use cases, a solid cooling system.

I was planning to upgrade to AM5 next year, but I don't think it's happening. To be honest, the only way I am limited is the CPU.

    I have a pretty similar setup but a Ryzen 9 5950X. The last thing I upgraded almost 2 years ago was the AIO and I never had any problems or limitations since then.

    Luckily the times of massive jumps in graphics and stuff are over.
