I'd stick with the 3700X, I found very little improvement going from a 3600 to 5800X with a 3080 at 1440p 5-10% or so yet going from a 1070ti + ryzen 3600 to 3080 yielded over a 100% uplift.I'm doing the same dilemma, coming from a 3700X. I don't really want to lose cores, I think eight is a good sweet spot, but I feel both the 5700X and 5800X3D are overpriced for what they are, whereas there's some good deals to be had on the 5600X.
I think i'm going to wait this one out a little, surely the price of the two eight cores has to drop at some stage, right? I mean i'm hoping thatAMD are going to want to start clearing stock for the arrival of their AM5 processors.
