I plan to buy it in June when it releases, but I’ve never bought a new CPU or any PC part at launch before, so I wanted to know how difficult it is, do shortages happen really fast? Do scalpers buy everything? Do I need to pre-order or something? Also, how do I know if my PC supports it? I’m on AM4 right now with a 5600G CPU.

Also, do you think the 5800X3D would be a big upgrade coming from a 5600G? I wanted a better CPU for heavy emulators like ShadPS4 (to play Bloodborne, even with all the mods and fixes, my pc still stutters a lot and i think the new cpu would help with that), I also know that some newer games are cpu heavy, it seems like a good idea, but I’m not an expert. I also wanted to upgrade my GPU from a 6700 XT to a 9070 XT, so I guess upgrading the CPU alongside it would make sense too?
