Ya same, decided to stay on AM4 instead of swapping to AM5 (it'll be cheaper next year, I naively thought) so I grabbed the best AM4 processor and upgraded my RAM to 64GB, tossed in a few more TB of SSDs and planned on a motherboard upgrade next year.
Now I'll probably buy a side-grade (Steam Frame or maybe Deck) instead of trying to buy into the current generation hardware.
Luckily my job involves local AI (primarily training techs, I'm not a social media propagandist) so the business may find a business need for a graphics card soon. It won't be mine, but we can hang out off-duty.
