I’m trying to put together a build for my first gaming desktop and I don’t quite understand the intricacies of a motherboard. AM4 is the current standard but AM5 is either out or coming out and I can’t figure out what would be better for me.

AM4 and AM5 are the type of socket for the CPU. Which one you need depends on whicu CPU you are getting.
A Ryzen 1000, 2000, 3000 or 5000 CPU will only fit in an AM4 motherboard.
A Ryzen 7000 series CPU (and presumably the next 2-4 future generations) will only fit on an AM5 motherboard
