My PC is bottlenecked by AM4 platform since my GPU upgrade. I have started to see large frame drops on CPU intensive games that didn’t have issues previously I’m pretty much at the best CPU possible for AM4 5000 series and can’t upgrade to AM5 without a semi rebuild of Mobo, CPU and RAM.

But does this actually affect your game play? Unless it does I suggest waiting before a build as I'm sure you would need DDR5 RAM and prices are high.
