    For me, it’s because:

    • I have a 5950X and it seems pointless to upgrade from there. Sure the new stuff is faster, but disproportionately so for the price. I would need to replace a bunch of components.
    • I recently upgraded to 128GB RAM, and it was cheaper to do that with DDR4
    • I’ve had 2 faulty Ryzen processors (1700X, then my first 5950X), and I’ve learned to wait until the kinks are ironed out.
