Do I wait for more Zen 3 Stock?

[IDontKnowMuchDontFlameMe]

Hi there,

Im trying to get myself a Zen 3 Cpu for christmas (leaning toward the 7 5800x, but maybe ill go for the 5, dont quite know yet) but theyve been out of stock since release. Should I wait for more stock in 2021, or maybe even before christmas, or just give it up and buy an older Cpu? Is there even anything known about Zen 3 Restocks? 

Id appreciate any advice you guys could give me.

Im planning on upgrading almost everything. I currently own an i5-7500, rx 5700 on some ultra-scuffed motherboard thats too small for my case (my dad bought it), 16 gigs of (only) 3200mhz ram, an alright ssd and reliable hdd, and a 750w PU.

The planned upgrade contains (if everything works out) a Ryzen 7 5800x, either a next-gen AMD Gpu or an RTX 3080 (less likely), the new evo as NVMe ssd, new ram if I have the budget and obviously a new Motherboard, probably an Aorus Elite x570 or something similair. 

I realize that the two main parts of this upgrade are currently unobtainable which is really annoying, but hopefully there will be restocks soon enough.

Seeing that it's the holidays a'comin' i'd expect AMD has some stock set aside so that there are sales of their products at that time. Even if just as an ad to have "Best seller" next to their icon.

lmfao, ok buddy. ONLY 3200mhz. 

other than that, since you are going to need a new mobo, and two components are unavailable, I would wait.

For your upgrade, you completely do not need to upgrade. if you plan on tuning in a red line overclock on ryzen, sure, but i doubt you will judging by your username.

for motherboard, I recommend the Aorus Master X570. you don't need ram, cpu or gpu to flash its bios for Ryzen 5000 series ready.

just wait, the difference is big enough i wouldn't touch zen 2 unless you need a pc right now.

Oh shit i put in the wrong ram speed, 2333mhz, thats on me.
My goal is to be able to play modern competetive games like the new CODs or Battlefields with 144hz, if not more. I sure as hell know Im not getting that on my current setup, so yeah, a new upgrade may not be MANDATORY, but still something Id look forward to.
