Hey there, you're thinking about a big upgrade for your B350 rig. The 3000 series CPU is still in use, but the 5000 series won't fit it and will hit the market this fall. You're weighing whether to go ahead now or hold off until the new model arrives. It's smart to consider if waiting could save you money compared to the upgrade cost. Let me know what you think!
They are expected to lower the cost, but stock might sell out quickly. If you're looking for it, consider purchasing soon before it disappears. A price reduction won't be huge if it drops.
Prices have already decreased a bit on the 3000 series, so if the 5000 series launches at a higher price, there should be minimal changes in new parts. There might be a slight boost in used availability, such as selling my 3900x and swapping it for a 5800x to build a custom unit.
