I wasn't suggesting that it would be cheap to move to the 7950X. I got a new motherboard, RAM, and SSD when I upgraded to the 5950X. If I had waited, it would have probably cost me an additional $300-$400 more to move to the AM5 and DDR5 components now.

The 5950X certainly will meet my 'needs' for several years. It is my 'wants' that is making me wish I had waited.
