On this thread the Ryzen 5800XT is $141, I imagine that would be worth a dollar more.

Edit: I stand corrected, after looking up the difference especially with the 5700x a 65w cpu vs the 5800xt at 105w and a 4% improvement on some benchmarks but costs like 80% more to operate per year in electricity consumption for basically the same performance, having that 40 watts to give overclocking or more power allocation to a gpu if you have a lower wattage power supply makes the 5700x a better purchase.

DDR4 ram is going to start going up - if you have AM4 and need more ram, get it now as manufacturers have announced production stop schedules on older chipset

Spend extra and get 5800xt. I've had both and it's worth the extra $ unless your PC is for a very basic purpose.

Price of Am4 mobo's went up too. I recall that I got lucky that I got a cheap Soyo 450m mobo from Aliexpress for about $35 about a year ago which I ended up using for my leftover Ryzen 2600x cpu.

Seems to be a good deal on this processor.

Prime members only - "Exclusive Prime price"

Don't forget to use Prime Visa for an additional 5% off. Cheaper than the 7950x.

The 5500 is a perfectly fine upgrade to a 1600AF. That's a zen 1+ chip and this will be a zen 3 chip. It has a higher clock speed and higher IPC so even though both are 6 core chips you'll do better with the 5500. It also has a better memory controller supporting higher speed DDR4 if your memory supports it. The 5500 is limited to PCI-E Gen 3 but your existing motherboard probably has the same limit so that really isn't a problem. The 5500 is the perfect drop in upgrade for an older AM4 system like that. For what it's worth the 5500 is officially Windows 11 compatible and with a Bios update and the right settings your existing MB should be too.

If you want you can go with 5800xt for an 8 core chip as an upgrade but that's more than doubling the price for 2 extra cores and some other features. That doesn't really make sense IMO.

Eh, unfortunately ddr4 prices are already up. At this point I'm debating spending $140 + $~75 for a 5700x and 32GB of ddr4 ram or put that $$ towards an AM5 upgrade: mobo, cpu, ddr5 ram. Yeah, AM5 cpus are more, but if ddr4 is on deaths doorstep that would inherently kill of AM4 as well. It wouldn't make sense to buy an AM4 CPU if you can't buy RAM for it.
