AM4 is essentially obsolete now. The upcoming AMD CPUs will adopt a different socket, making anything built on AM4 outdated. Still, you might get several years of reliable use with minimal problems. Right now, it’s not the best time to invest in this setup.
You're wondering if you should give back the motherboard you purchased and hold off on getting a newer one.
You might want to consider getting all the details instead of just a few sentences. If you already have the motherboard but plan to buy the CPU later this year, are you facing cash flow problems? Did you find a good deal? Are you still unsure? Generally, it's better to purchase components together for optimal compatibility. The 6xxx series from AMD could be unavailable before you buy a CPU, or Intel might release a high-value model that fits your budget best.
I'm working on assembling a PC and have purchased the motherboard and RAM. I'm not sure if I should exchange the motherboard. It turned out to be more than necessary for the CPU I originally intended—my planned CPU is the 3600. I bought the motherboard at a discount and am currently tight on funds, so I'm delaying the CPU purchase. If the situation improves later, I'll be fine as long as the PC meets my basic needs and lasts a few years. I don't plan to run heavy games, so I'm looking for something reliable without excessive demands.
You're wondering if getting a 3060 or 3060ti later could cause any issues. It's a good question!
Unless you care about extremely high frame rates in competitive games, it shouldn't be an issue.
