>Ryzen 3600
Sooo, I'm bottlenecked.

What's the next best move, wait or upgrade the CPU now? I have a 3070.

I'm on 3600 too. Was thinking is am5 even worth going for anymore or wait for am6?

Buy a 5800X3D if you can find one for a good price.
It can keep up with my 6950XT

I'm on a i9-9900k. Gonna upgrade before the year ends. Just gonna go for the 9950X3D. I make videos/stream, and I'm in desperate need of a new CPU. Not a particular fan of upgrading near the end of AM5, but I'm just gonna bite the bullet

5800x3d is too expensive. 5700x3d is just as good but cheaper. either option is the best in slot for AM4 otherwise just upgrade to AM5. 7700X is same speed as 5800x3d but you get everything else modern.

AM5 will be supported for a long time like AM4. AM6 won't be until PCIE6 and we're just getting GPUs and SSDs that support 5.

The best cpu for am4 you can actually buy is the 5700x3d which is highly economical compared to a full platform upgrade.

>wait or upgrade the CPU now?
it all depends on if you want to also upgrade your GPU now and if you intend to still stay on AM4

if you don't want to or cant also upgrade your GPU, then either wait, or get a cheap more powerful replacement CPU that won't be too much of an expense but will also remove that bottleneck, like the 5600(not X, not G), they're around 100-120 dollars/euro.
Getting any CPU that is more powerful than that without also upgrading the GPU, you'll just leave performance on the table(on the CPU side) while also spending more than you need, even more so when if you stay on AM4 now it likely means your next upgrade will be on AM5, so whatever CPU you upgrade to now will not be compatible.

if you instead can also upgrade the GPU but want to stay on AM4, get a 5700X3D if you're going to upgrade to a higher tier but still mid tier card(4070 max), or a 7800X3D if you plan to go higher with the GPU(4080, 4090, or any 50XX card).

If you instead can spend as much as you want, just to AM5 right away and get whichever GPU and CPU you can afford, at the moment there really isn't any wrong high tier CPU + GPU combo, all of them will be more than enough for whatever you wanna play

Wait for AM6.
