But I get core count envy when I do encoding and such things, and would like to hand down most of this system to my son who's computer could use an upgrade.
How far away is AM5 though. 1 year?
If I upgrade to a 5900X or 5950X I could ride that for another 4-5 years, upgrade to whatever's after the 3080 if I move up to a 4K or ultrawide monitor, so I'm not sure waiting is worth it either.

I have the exact same setup and I probably will be doing the 5900X/5950X thing when they drop later this year, though I'm doing a lot of application work lately so the extra threads will be helpful.
And yeah, my wife's PC could use the upgrade too lol.
