Hey there! As everyone who saw my post noticed, I made it clear that switching to DDR5 would require a different motherboard. Thanks for the feedback, but no pressure to seem clever

Thanks a lot for the guidance! I plan to keep using what I have for another few years or until something fails. My PC was built about five years ago, upgraded from a 1660 Super to the 3060ti, and I haven’t experienced any issues.

Appreciate all the suggestions! I'm planning to keep what I have for now or until it fails. Maybe later I'll upgrade to a new setup.

but i don't think anyone considered your understanding, you really need a completely different setup, and you even mentioned switching to a b550 board—though it doesn't support DDR5 since it's an AM4 model. i was just highlighting that you'd need a full platform change, which could affect whether upgrading to DDR5 makes sense. as i said before, the gains are minimal, the price is steep, and it usually isn't a good return considering the platforms are quite similar. i think it's better to stick with am4 as long as you can... tldr: you can't upgrade ram or cpu separately, you'd need both and the board too.
