| Product Name: | AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 3.40GHz 16-Core AM4 Desktop Processor |
| Product Description: | Worth Every Penny For Powerful Workstation Performance By SPENCER T. After two years of using a Ryzen 7 2700X as my workstation's heart, it was time to step up to something more powerful. I'm a professional web designer. As a result, I require a lot of multitasking performance for a wide variety of work tasks, from graphic design to keeping five browsers going with many tabs each to working with video files. The Ryzen 9 3900X gave me a huge performance bump over my 2700X, was a drop-in upgrade for my ASUS motherboard, and I could not be happier with the pe...rformance! I could not be happier! And thank you to Adorama for getting it to me the next day with standard shipping! View full Review |

Sometimes these processors pay for themselves for some users. I've made my money back selling gold in game.

I agree with this. 5950X is the highest of the last AM4 socket and this is the processor to stick with 3 to 5 years. I would only make a new box if it's the last processor series for the AM5 socket after. You could get an AM5 mobo and processor but you will not be getting your money's worth. The new 7000 series processors is where it makes sense that you don't need the latest and greatest.

It would be except for the 300-500$ motherboard and 300$ memory

Also keep in mind, AM4 is at its most mature point. So you have to ask yourself. If your gonna do a PC build, would you rather have a first generation or the last generation? One that's mature and has the bugs worked out? Or one that is bleeding edge and is gonna run into some issues. Already there's some problems with early adopter tax, first gen motherboards and DDR5 is still crazy expensive and various cpu coolers don't work with AM5 socket.
I personally would recommend to go with the mature platform.
Ryzen 7000/Zen 4/AM5 simply doesnt make sense right now. Prices need to come down significantly. If youre on AM4, you stay on AM4, if youre building new you build 12th or 13th gen.
Ryzen 7000 platform costs just dont make sense for
Consider that sandy bridge from 2009(!!) is still working just fine in 2022. the only thing it "can't" do is windows 11, but that's because of a microsoft artificial limitation that can be easily bypassed. there's no game at all that it can't play (i5 and up).
tempting to upgrade to this processor, but don't want to go through installing all the software I used...

I just ordered a 7700x. But my build is starting from scratch. It sounds like this is a good deal if u just want to update the cpu only and keep everything else you already have.
