I'm currently using an AM4 setup with 32GB of RAM and an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB. I'm not looking to switch to AM5 anytime soon, but I'm considering an upgrade to the Ryzen 7 5700X3D. It's priced at $561 AUD on AliExpress, and I want to know if anyone has experience with this CPU and if it's a smart investment for long-term use. I'm unsure if the additional performance will be significant enough in five years compared to my existing 5700X.

I'm also on a 5700X, and while it's performing great for 1440p gaming, I wouldn't recommend the 5700X3D at that price. Saving up for something like an AM5 makes more sense in the long run.
The Ryzen 5700X3D is a solid upgrade, but the price is a bit steep since it's out of production. It's best to look for a used one at a lower price if you're flexible.
I had a similar build and found that the 5700X3D was noticeably better in CPU-intensive games, but for $561, it's hard to justify. If you're doing specific types of gaming, look for cheaper options or just save up for the next platform.
If you're mainly gaming, the jump from 5700X to 5700X3D can be beneficial due to the extra cache, especially in CPU-heavy games. But that price seems a bit high; you might be better off saving up for a future upgrade.
Honestly, at $561 AUD, it might not be the best deal. You should compare that price with the cost of an AM5 setup, which could give you better performance overall. Depending on availability in your area, it may just be too high for what you get.
