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.
I got super lucky and got a 6950XT for free so now im set for another 5-10 years if nothing breaks. Well i say lucky, but i inherited it because someone close to me died…
