I find it so frustrating really. The 7600X is significantly faster than a 5600X for only £100 more. Yet the platform cost ruins it. And it's not DDR5 that's the issue. I know we've all vented on this before, so I do apologise for repeating it. It just always seems so much more frustrating when you see the prices side by side in CPU-only configurations.

It's as fast as a 5800x at worst and faster at best. When you put it that way, it doesn't seem as bad.
Having recently purchased into the AM5 platform, I only about $70 more than upgrading to a 5800x platform. Doesn't seem that bad to me considering the new technology advantages it offers.

Nice! What system specs did you go for? The Gigabyte B650i Aorus isn't available yet, and that's the one I wanted. That and the MSI B660i Edge are the only two that are reasonably priced.
To be honest, though, I don't think it's a good time for me to build an SFF system. I might be better off putting a 5600 into my current X370 motherboard and buying a cheap 6700 or something like that. Then after a couple of years build a whole new fresh system into an SFF case.
