Planning a new build to replace my 2080 super and i7 9700K, does Pcie 5 truly matter at this point in time, I’m already paying 30% above US msrp on all parts because of geolocation, and upgrading to a pcie 5 motherboard will basically cost double for me from what a pcie 4 would cost, I checked my options.

The question is - is it THAT significant? I know the rtx 50 series supports Pcie 5, but is it EXPECTED to run on it?

Thanks all.
