Hello everyone! I'm from Brazil and considering an upgrade to a new AMD line. Most of my time is spent gaming and developing, but sometimes I need to run multiple tasks like machine learning or multi-threaded code. My current PC handles it fine, but if I get some money at the end of the year, I'm thinking about it and want advice—should I upgrade now or wait a bit longer?

My setup includes an i5 4690K OC with a 4.2GHz cooler (Noctua NH-U12S), 16GB DDR3 RAM, an Asus Z97M GTX 1070-Ti. I'd like to support multiple threads for development and ML work without sacrificing gaming performance. Is it possible to reuse my existing cooler? Thanks!

If you lack the necessary mounting hardware for AM4, you can reach out to noctua for assistance in obtaining it.

It was almost time to share what I knew, but I still had more to say.
