Yeah, honestly this is why I didn't buy Intel last time I did an upgrade.

I literally bought Intel, decided I wanted Intel, and then when I found out it was likely the board wasn't going to be useful with any other chip, I just returned the whole kit.

Ditto, my last upgrade I switched to AMDs AM5, 0 regrets lmao

My current PC is from 2016 - it started as a Ryzen 7 1700X systen, and I've since replaced every part in it over time. Being able to go from a 1700X to a 5700X3D without having to rebuy a whole system at once was great
