hi, im planning a mostly gaming build later this year, my first in 9 years!
these are the two ive planned out. should i go with am5 for future proofing and better specs or is am4 good enough.
AM5 (9600x + 9060xt 16gb): https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/8WTdmL
AM4 (5600x + arc b580): https://de.pcpartpicker.com/list/NQ7Yg3
i want to play at 1440p, high settings for most titles. any thoughts?
*the singe 16gb ddr5 in the am5 list is because i want to upgrade to 32 when the prices go down a bit

AM5 has an upgrade path, am4s socket is done.

So you're getting a faster cpu and cpu? Get AM5

If you already have DDR4 32GB or more, go with AM4 for now. If you don't have anything yet, AM5 is better for future proofing as AM4 is at a evolutionary dead end and not for new build.
