Thanks for the response!
 
Some great tips I can definitely work with!
 
The pcpartpicker list looks good, altough I don't think I'll need the RAM as I already have 32Gb of 3200Mhz CL16. Which is good as translating the prices to my region brings it up to €800 with the RAM, but without to €670. The WD SDD looks good value for money indeed, I'll keep that in mind as well!
 
Also thanks for the tip for the retrofit kit, I didn't even think of that.

Just for reference, 600-700 euro = $650-$750 USD.
 
There's a few different ways to look at this, but no matter how you slice it, I wouldn't wait for the AM5 to come out. First, AMD has already blown one tentative 'release date', and is only boasting 5.5Ghz from them so far, and people are OC'ing pre-AM4 stuff to close to that. I kind of think they're running into issues they don't want to make public, especially as they've already said the AM4 platform isn't going anywhere for a good while yet either.
 
Take it all around, I don't look for the AM5 platform to outshine the AM4 for a good while yet. Even playing American Truck Simulator, my 5900X has yet to breach 25% CPU usage with an RTX3060ti at 4K resolution. Not to mention the AM5 is paving the way for standardizing stuff that is going to take the gaming market years to even catch up with, much less take advantage of.
 
You can also look at it in terms of bang for the buck. By sticking with your current platform, what you save on a new motherboard can be spent on the best processor you can put in it, and you have some nice options here. A 9900KFIntel, while expensive for the LGA1151 platform, probably won't be that far behind anything you might pay three times for in the LGA1200 / LGA1700 platform, if at all. Just my $0.02 of course, I'm more of an AMD guy.
 
That said, there are reasons to upgrade the platform, such as M.2 support and faster RAM, if your current board doesn't support at least 3200 and doesn't have M.2 slots, which can help performance quite a bit. I say if you're going to do all that, be sure you get a fair amount of RAM, because while 32GB may seem ridiculous, it does help performance a bit.
 
With all that in mind, here is an LGA1700 upgrade kit I pieced together I think would work well for you. I included an SN570 WD Blue 1TB. First, I think it makes more sense to start with a fresh M.2 instead of one with many hours on it that will likely have to be wiped anyway, and you have no real idea of how long your existing 970 will last. I also feel the SN570 is a better bang for the buck all around.

Your existing cooler can be reused with a $6.00 retrofit kit, Corsair part # CW-8960091. Also, you're well within budget at $650 USD (600 euro), so you could afford more CPU, I'm just not sure it will be worth the extra money.

Thanks for your response! I think I'm gonna keep it the way they are now then as someone else also said that how they are now is probably fine.

I Totally Agree With You. This Is Very Annoying.
