Nice! One suggestion - please add AM4 socket boards. With current memory prices, AM5 with DDR5 is becoming unattainable for some. DDR4 prices are rising as well. But not nearly as bad as DDR5.

So you're specifically considering the people that would have gone AM5 but are now looking at AM4 at the end of 2025 and into 2026?
Is that a significant number of people? I kind of expect almost everyone that waited this long to sit tight on their current builds and keep waiting until RAM goes back down.
Some don’t already have a build.
AM4 has high end gaming CPUs available and there are not yet major limitations besides future upgrades.
AM4 parts probably makes the best value gaming build you can get right now.

The number of people that don't have a previous computer and are shopping based on individual parts is even smaller.

Has the value improved in the last year and a half? The people that would want AM4 have had a long time to buy AM4.

If I needed a new build right now, it would most likely be AM4. Going for the latest gen would just be out of my price point, whereas AM4 still has plenty of good chips and motherboards out there.
