Should I Choose an AM4 or AM5 Build for Gaming?
Asked by

I'm looking to build a gaming and game development PC for around $930, but I'm torn between two configurations. One option is an AM4 setup with DDR4 for $950, including a Ryzen 5 5600 CPU, ASROCK B550 motherboard, and 32GB of RAM at 3200MHz. The other is an AM5 setup with DDR5 for $1006, featuring a Ryzen 5 7600 CPU and 32GB of RAM at 5600MHz. Is the additional $50 worth it for the AM5 build for future upgrades?
Answers
Definitely go for the AM5! The extra $50 is a small price to pay for better RAM and architecture. Plus, it's more future-proof with upgrades down the line.

For just $50 more, absolutely choose the AM5. It’ll pay off in better performance and you’ll have an upgrade path for the next generations.

$50 difference? Go with AM5. They can give you a competitive edge and more choices for future CPUs. That's hard to pass up!

I say go for the AM5 as well. You'll save yourself the hassle and money of upgrading the motherboard and RAM later on. Plus, the performance gains are worth it.
