I'm thinking about it... I'm not sure if buying a build for the next generation is right. DDR4 will be replaced by DDR5 next year, and after just one year there might be a big difference in technology between CPUs, motherboards, and GPUs. What do you think? I'm planning to invest in an expensive build for years, so I'm considering this carefully.

Get it when you're ready. Don't hold back. Waiting doesn't work. Unless you're launching a top-tier product, delaying might not be wise—prices could drop sharply due to the pandemic.

You can easily trade in your existing CPU once the Ryzen 4000 is released, without any issues. If you're in a hurry, opt for the 3000 model now and switch later.

I plan to purchase a new PC later, not right now. I haven’t upgraded my current one.

It won't be necessary to swap out your components annually, right? Just wait for Zen 3 and Amperes.

Since I don’t update the components annually, shouldn’t we wait another year? DDR4 is nearing its end of life.

DDR4 is still in use and not finished. What are you focusing on?

It won't be ready for buyers until about two to three years later. The release is planned for 2021, but we don't know if it will actually be adopted.

Volume manufacturing of DDR4 won't start until at least 2022, though a nearer launch date doesn't alter the mindset. DDR3 didn't become outdated right away after DDR4 appeared. Speeds for DDR4 are rising steadily, and 3600 MHz is now widely used. Nonetheless, significant advantages haven't materialized yet, meaning DDR5 won't reshape PC gaming.
