Should I upgrade my pc now or wait?
My current pc: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Pcoolguy/saved/#view=yRFj23
My pc is technically from 2013 because of the ram, cpu and motherboard. My grandpa built it for me in 2017 with old parts he had. I would like to upgrade the cpu but I haven't done that because then I also need to upgrade the motherboard and ram.
I am afraid that the same thing is going to happen if I upgrade now because it feels like ddr5 and AM5 is right around the corner. I will probably buy the RTX 3070 even though I only have PCIe 3.0 and I think i am able to wait for another year or two for ddr5 and AM5 if it means long term compatability.
But should I upgrade my motherboard, cpu and ram now or should I wait for AM5 and ddr5 if you think about long term compatability?
