Also upgrade that CPU, you have so many good drop in replacement options with AM4 still.
Yeah I wasn't ready to swap out my whole motherboard and got a 5800x3d. A little on the pricier side still (~$320), but many games really love that extra large cache. Should hopefully keep me going for quite a while before having to upgrade sockets. There's cheaper options than that that would still be a good upgrade, a 5700x is about $170. A couple games recently like baldurs gate 3 have been very cpu intensive.
Yuppp it's a monster gaming CPU still, I love what AMD did with the longer-term socket support. I recently got a 7800X3D, it should last a long time, but having the piece of mind that in a few years I could just drop another AM5 CPU in if I needed or wanted to is great.
Unfortunately my mobo only supports up to 3000 series, so I'm switching to AM5 next year
Which mobo do you have? Most of them got bios updates to support Ryzen 5000, even old B350s and some A320s.
Asrock Fatality B350, not officially listed on the manual and forums say that is technically possible but risky
Weird, the K4's latest bios supports Vermeer, but perhaps not the X3D CPUs? But if so, even a 5600 would be an acceptable and pretty cheap upgrade over a 2600.
