I'm thinking about building a new PC and I'm considering the Ryzen 9 7950X3D as my CPU. Do you think this processor will hold up well in the long term? I'm curious if there are better options available for around 270 Euros. Also, where can I find a comprehensive description of this CPU? Thanks!

Totally! That's what I’m using for my gaming and CAD workstation, and it performs exceptionally well across the board.
Absolutely, the Ryzen 9 7950X3D is an excellent choice! I've got the 7950X, and it's incredibly fast, though it does run a bit warm at 170 watts compared to the 120 watts of the X3D version. If your main focus is gaming, you won't be disappointed at all. For both gaming and productivity, the 7950X is solid, too. You can find some great reviews online if you search for them!
Are you planning to use it just for gaming or also for work?

Yeah, it's considered the 4th best gaming CPU right now, behind the 9950X3D, 9800X3D, and 7800X3D. You might not find any other CPU at that price point, so just a heads-up, that price seems a bit low for the 7950X3D. Even used, it might go for around €400 usually.
I'm looking to use it for gaming and study.
