I am currently rocking 5600 on a320m board, willing to upgrade in future to 5900x or 5950x? Is this motherboard worth it? If not please suggest me one..
 
that will support the suggested cpu s but the question is for what purpose you wanna use those cpu for? If i am suggesting go for x 500 series or B 600 series which is similar in price right now
 
Yes it will support it, but don't overclock it. In fact you can undervolt it even further
I love undervolting.. that will enough for me. Overclock isnt worth it.

How about this board? Can i save money still have the basic features, no wifi and all.

Or should I keep using my msi a320m pro v/d s v2 motherboard with my r5 5600 ?

No, this board is too basic. It doesn't have any VRM heatsinks and only 4-pin power. The last one is good enough BUT AMAZON IS OVERPRICED.
I suggest buying from MD computers. It's very trusted. You can consider any of the below -

Yea a550m-a pro has no heatsinks. It's enough for 5600 but not for 5900x. If your vrm overheat then your performance will throttle and you won't be able to get the full performance

See, i just bought brand new 5600 at December. Upgrading my old ryzen 3 2200g on msi a320m board. Now 5600 runs fairly well benchmark is really good, vrm is not overheating, supports my rtx 3060 12gb.

I was only looking to upgrade due to it has no m.2 slot. But if the pricing is not good, i may probably be keep using a320m for next few years and after that move to next platform? What do you say, am i missing much?

If you bought 5600 then better keep using it for 2-3 years more then upgrade your gpu. Your processor can even run a 3080ti. Spend money on your gpu
I also bought brand new rtx 3060 12gb together with the cpu.. i am atleast keeping it for next 3 years. Stable diffusion/flux ai image generation works good .. thanks for your suggestion brother! Much help for curing my confusion, i will keep using a320m with these.
