I probably would have too, but back when I did it AM5 stuff was pretty steep and the value/dollar was still a bit hazy. I'm still not really quite sure what the real AM5 advantage over AM4 for the common person is, especially at the prices today. I mean obviously it's better and newer and whatever, but is it really that necessary?
