If youre not on AM4 already, Zen 3 is a dead end socket, as Zen4 is on AM5. Also LGA1700 (Intel 12th gen socket) is expected to last through 14th gen, meteor lake, Intel 4 node with tiles (chiplets), so youre 'investing' in a 3 year platform vs a deadend with AM4 or LGA1200.
Intel changes RAM and sockets all the time. there is no such thing as a 3 year platform with Intel.
that chip will be a furnace at 200W...
I'll give Alder Lake the benefit of the doubt... Even though Intel has been lagging for awhile. Meanwhile, AMD is not standing still either...
I just got the 5800X. I was going to get a Asus X570 mobo but the Tuf on shelf had no USB-C. Then I Saw a Tuf 550 Plus for $170 - $150 with the $20 off. It has USB-C + 2.5 GB ethernet so I went with that. WIth all the crazy prices the last months a 5800X with ASUS USB-C mobo for $510 was pretty good. The AMD RX 580 gpu I bough 2 years ago for 210 was selling for $900 a few weeks ago - $750 used on ebay lol

It will take at least another 2 year for those to drop to the price of current "old" tech.
So 85% of PC gamers have 6 cores or less.
A Ryzen 5 2600 is still good. A caveat is that every generation of Ryzen has been more stable. I had no issue with a 2600 but I was sure to check AMD's memory vendor list to buy memory thy approved. But even now there have been a lot of bios updates on AMD chips and mobos.I would get a newer mobo and a 550 or X570 can handle a chip from 2/3000s as well as a 5000. Really, the hard part will be getting a gpu that's not stupid expensive

There is a new article out about the G-series processors with graphcs built-in. Maybe something like that helps until the prices come down

Really depends on what you are doing-- and at what resolution.
If you're doing 4k gaming on a card that can legit handle 4k, your CPU is virtually irrelevant for most games.
You'd barely notice running the highest end 2021 CPU available versus an i7 from 2013.
If you're running CPU-bound lower res stuff, then you'll notice a fair bit more difference.
https://cdn.mos.cms.fut
8% fps difference on a 3080 at 4k/Ultra across 9 different games between 10th gen i9s and a 4th gen (2013) i7.
0.2 fps difference between an i3 10th gen and a Ryzen 3600, another 0.3 difference from the 3600 to a 3900X.
Basically no difference.... and you'll get essentially no improvement from a CPU upgrade if your CPU is like anything made in the last 5 years.
Same 9 games at 1080p/medium on same 3080 and same CPUs-
https://cdn.mos.cms.fut
80 fps difference from the 2013 i7 to the 10th gen i9. 12 fps bump from the i3 to the Ryzen 3600, another 14 fps from the 3600 to the 3900x.
And obviously for productivity work the difference can be pretty significant.
