Switching to AM5, need help with build

[JollyJamma]

if you're just gaming then the 5700x3d is a good way to go for a cheap upgrade...
productivity though..nope. the x3d cpu's in the 5000 and 7000 series aren't as fast as their non x3d counterparts, as the x3d layer was placed on top of the cpu die...so in order to control temps and not damage the x3d layer, they had to downclock the cpu's
only the new 9000 series did they do the redesign with the x3d layer below the cpu die and a thermal layer between them.....a cheap7600x would be similar performance to a 5800x3d and also be far better at productivity than a 5700x3d/5800x3d as it's clocked far higher...downside being platform change
so if you just want the gaming, stay on your existing and get a 5700x3d
if you want to do productivity, I'd make the jump to am5 personally

This advice is great too and you could easily justify a move to AM5 if you want better productivity performance as AM4 has some performance to price limits there.

I also think that DDR5 is now so cheap that it's foolish to spend any decent amount of money on DDR4 instead of just moving to a new DDR5 system

OP, here is a review of the 9060 XT
