I built my PC when the 5000 series was released and started with a 5600. After a year, I sold it for around 100 euros and upgraded to the 5700X3D for about 180 euros. I'm currently running it with 32GB of G.Skill RAM and a 2080 Ti. I'm thinking about upgrading my GPU next year to something like a 5070 Ti, 9700 XT, or another new release. My main question is: will this setup hold up for AAA gaming until the AM6 comes out? Do I need to consider an upgrade to the 5800X3D?

I'm still going strong with an R5-5600 for 1440p gaming, so I figure I can definitely wait for AM6 before considering an upgrade.
Absolutely! I think the 5700X3D paired with a future 5070 Ti will last you a couple of years at least, probably longer. The only thing you might want to watch out for is how next-gen consoles from Sony and Microsoft stack up in terms of performance down the line.
Until AM6 is released, your setup will handle things just fine. But once AM6 arrives, it might struggle a bit with newer titles. Just keep that in mind!
That’s what I figured! Thanks for the input.
But how would that even be a problem? The 5700X3D is already a beast compared to the current PS5 and Series X CPUs!
