We're already past 1.5C and are therefore porked anyway in terms of warming and 'e-waste'. Sure you could cosplay as Greta Thunberg and go back to the abacus and write Akkadian on stone tablets, but why would you do that if you need Teams for work and want to play Cyberpunk o9000 at 8K480? Buying/building a desktop requires foresight because sometimes software will require powerful components. Case in point: the AI software coming in 2024 will compel even more people to upgrade or buy new rigs just as Windows 11 required the TPM chip. A last-gen CPU on a last-gen socket might not cut it. Unfortunately, I've been doing this shit for 30+ years, and the people who hear this from me are still irritated, but I DON'T MAKE THE RULES.
It may not much improvement in average FPS between Zen 2 and 3 but the 1% low improves considerably (moving from 3700x to 5700x). Also the 5800x3d is overkill for RTX 3060 or RTX 3070.
