i just upgraded this year, to an r9 5900x, from my old r5 2600, still running a 1070 though.

I do video editing and more generally CPU intensive stuff on the side, as well as a lot of multitasking, so it's worth the money, in the long run at least.

I also mostly play minecraft, and factorio, so.

ryzen 5000 is a great upgrade path for those who don't want to buy into am5 yet. Very affordable. 7000 is not worth the money, unless you get a good deal, same for 9000, though you could justify it with a new motherboard and ram.

I'm rocking a 5800X and see no reason to go to 7000 or no 9000 anytime soon. It's been great since I built the PC.

i would've bought a 5800x, but the prices for the 5800x were crazy, so i just bit the bullet and spent more money on the 5900x as it was a better value, and admittedly, probably more useful to me, especially moving into the future.

5000 series was a flagship line up for ryzen i think, just before AMD started really killing intel in performance, and also before they started chasing performance so hard. It has great power efficiency, and even better performance. It truly is the chip of the era. Especially with the x3d series for people who want more cache.

i imagine whatever comes after 9000 series might be a more worthwhile upgrade for you, unless like me you like to wait for things to become more cost effective as it falls a few generations behind. That's another great strategy as well. I also tend to find that anything less than 3 generations between CPU upgrades and you're close to the "this isn't really worth it" line. 2 gens might be, it might not be also though.
