I built my first PC a long time ago, with an AM4 board. I upgraded to 5800x3d a while back. Why do I feel like I'm going to keep using this same motherboard until I die?
Probably won't be that long, but I would bet you'll be using it until the 2030s.
AM4 has been a great platform. I'm now using a 5700x3d and it's the 3rd cpu I've used with this system. That time I replaced the case as well, so it looks like a major upgrade at least.
