Decisions, decisions...
With July 4th and Prime day coming I wonder if these are permanent price drops

This is a January article but if you plan to upgrade, AM5 overall is cheaper now. If you just want a cheap AM5 gaming system, you can grab a 7600 from AliExpress for $180. DDR5 RAM is dirty cheap. 32GB 6000 CL36 G. Skill X5(EXPO) is $81. Add a $130 B650 and a $30 tower cooler and you're set for a long while.
If you're going with a high end GPU, then upgrade to AM5. If not, use what you have or upgrade your current AM4 to 5800X3D at $290 that's similar performance to the 7600X. However, depending on the games you play, the X3D can be more beneficial.

The 7700 non X has been the real gem of the line in my opinion. I bought one, and use it with a 4070ti and still managed to keep my 750w PSU. I probably won't look for an upgrade until the very last X3D chip on AM5 comes out (probably 2025).
Then Wait for AM6 to be launched and buy the last gen CPU for AM5 and upgrade your ram to the fastest or fastest per dollar RAM at that time.

The X cpus are probably the better silicon.
