Hi folks! I'm gearing up to switch my current AM4 and DDR4 setup to the newer AM5 and DDR5 platform, and I'd love some feedback before I dive in. I'm hoping to build a system that stays relevant for at least 3 to 4 years without needing major updates. I'm planning to buy the new components over four months at 0% interest. Additionally, I'm looking to upgrade my graphics card to a high-end model in the future, so I want to ensure the rest of my system can keep up.
Here's what I currently have:
- **Motherboard**: ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F (ATX)
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 5 5600
- **RAM**: G.SKILL 2x8GB 3000MHz CL16 (DDR4)
- **GPU**: MSI Ventus RTX 4060 Ti 8GB 3X
For the upgrade, I'm planning on:
- **Motherboard**: ASUS ROG STRIX B850-F WiFi (ATX)
- **CPU**: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
- **RAM**: XPG Lancer Blade 2x16GB 6000MHz CL30 (DDR5)
Thanks for your help!

Everything sounds good to me! You've picked some solid parts that should last you a while.
Do you think XPG is a reliable brand? Should I look into other options? Also, is pairing it with a 4060 Ti overkill? Just curious since I might not upgrade again for a year.
