Currently have everything for an AMD Ryzen Gen 3 build apart from a CPU (Other than a 2200G).

Have a ASUS Rog Strix X570 Gaming F motherboard, G Skill Trident Neo 16gb 3600mhz Cl16, Radeon vii (Don't laugh), Corsair 1tb MP600, NZXT Kraken 72 AIO

I was / am waiting for a 3905X and really want one, but not using any of my components yet.

PC is going to be mainly for gaming but would like to future proof it (My 2500k has lasted 8 years).

So here are what I think my options are;

1. Try and upgrade the bios using the bios flashback button to the latest version and get my 2200G working ( though tried 3 times and failed) and then get a 3905X in January.
2. Get a 3600X now and then a 3950X in Jan and sell the 3600X and try and get some money back.
3. Get a 3600X or possible a 3800X now and see what Ryzen 4th gen is like.
4. Get a 3900X and be done with it! (Think i might always regret not getting the 3950X)
5. Put up with my 2500k for another 6 weeks, but not use my new components and hope nothing i wrong with them.

What do you think i should do?

I'm thinking option 2 but wondered if what price I should be able to sell the 3600X for second hand.
