You can likely put a 5800X3D or 5700X3D in the same motherboard and get a massive performance upgrade


I’m rocking an AM4 build still and very happy with the bump I got from going to a 5800X and maxing out the RAM (primarily for productivity use rather than gaming).


5700X3D is great for gaming, but for programming 5900XT will be nicer. You can run make -j32 :)


Great for when you're installing Linux from source.

I hope I'm never working on a project where -j32 on a 5900XT is noticeably faster than than -j16 on a 5700X3D.

Then again, -j1 is nice, when you need to time a break. (https://xkcd.com/303/)
