I went with AM4 because it was looking quite future proof back 10 years ago when i initially bought a Ryzen 1700. I upgraded from a 2700X to a 5800X3D last year and from 16 to 32GB of RAM. So yeah i definitely got lucky with the timing and with how long AMD kept making better CPUs for AM4.

    Same here. I have an AM4 board with a 5800X that cost $110 and a 9060XT I got for $10 above MSRP. I was complaining I couldn't get it at MSRP back then, but now I'm not complaining anymore.

    Something tells me I won't be upgrading for a while.
