Hi there!

I'm currently thinking if i should upgrade or not.

I'm on a DDR3 platform, but as DDR5 is on the market, i don't know if it's still worth to go on the DDR4 platform.

Currently my build is as follow :

- I7 4770k OC @4.2Ghz
- Noctua NH-D15 for the cooling
- G Skill Ares 8Go x 4 @ 1600Mhz
- RTX 2080 Super EVGA FTW3 Hybrid
- Seasonic Gold 750W
- Motherboard : MSI Z87-G55 (MS-7821)
- OCZ Agility 3 - 128 Go(need replacement)
- Crucial MX500 2To
- Seagate Brracuda 2 To

Case is as corsair Crystal 680X, with full Noctua Fans.
I'm running on 1440p with a Samsung Oddyssey G5 27".

Here the only upgrade i see is on the MB+CPU+RAM combo. But what?
Should i go for the DDR5 platform with the new Zen4 AMD/Intel 1700 or stay at DDR4? Or waiting for DDR5 to be more developped?

Of course, going to DDR5 i will be BottleNeck with GPU, but i make an upgrade like.. every 5-10 years? haha

Thanks

I mostly game or video. Make some IT stuff but if i make a home/labo environnement i would go with a specific server aside anyway.
Well mostly i would tell 600-700€ Max if possible but i don't want to go overkill either. Futurproof yeah but not overkill

Thanks you! For the MB, MSI isn't really needed. If there is an other brand that has a better model, go for that haha.

How is the DDR5 state as of right now? Good? Still not enough upgrade compared to DDR4?

Thanks
