Upgrade when needed.
You're considering moving from your AM4 system to the R7 5800X3D. It's a smart move if you're looking for better performance later. The timing depends on a few factors—prices tend to drop after major releases, and production usually ends around 2025. If you want the best value now, aim for a sale or a discounted release. Keep an eye on future updates; manufacturers often stop producing older models once they're phased out. Core count and cache improvements will still be useful even if you upgrade later. Good luck!

I looked at the profile details. The model is 6750XT with 16GB RAM and a 3200MHZ clock speed, but there’s no info about the resolution listed.
presently at 1080p, we aim for 1440p. Just trying to skip the outdated hardware fees. AM4 isn’t enough, so the next step would require replacing the whole setup. And we’re moving from 32gb to 64gb instead of 16gb.
What is this about old hardware tax? It sounds like just purchasing parts without any restrictions. No special fees for 1080p, no delays in traffic to Microcenter, and no charges for different monitor sizes. You should buy what you need whenever you want—it's your money. The 5800x3d works well now and will too in the future. If it makes sense, go ahead and buy it. If not, skip it. Buying today for a potential future use isn't something I do.
I owned an 8700k at 5ghz. While playing games such as Spider-Man, I experienced drops to the 40s during ray tracing when moving around. Swinging felt smooth, but GPU load would fall to about 60%. Plague Tail dropped below 50fps, and lower GPU usage in Cyberpunk and Watchdogs Legion kept under 60%. The city moved around steadily, and after a while it started to affect my focus. I had to admit it was time.
