Most people would argue for the AM5 for upgrading in the future. However, speaking from experience, I am still using a 3rd gen i7, the number of cores age very well. With 16 cores, I plan to use this 5900XT for at least ten years, perhaps fifteen. By the time, perhaps AM6 or AM7 will be out, I don't think an AM5 matters at all.
With AM5 out of the question, I looked at price and performance. It is, yes, difficult for 9700X and 7600X to best 16 cores of performance. 5900XT apparently has a better price/value for being an AM4. So, I decided on this deal.

I find your comments on all the related threads very helpful. Consider all the current deals, this combo fits me the best, even though it is not as hot as other deals. Everyone will have different usages of their own. And I am glad you share your thought, as it is helpful for me.
