I'm currently using an i5 12400F with an H610M motherboard and 32GB of DDR5 RAM clocked at 5600MHz, paired with an RX 7800 XT. I found a deal on the Ryzen 7 7800X3D for $324, while local stores have it for $462. I play games like Battlefield 6, Minecraft, and GTA 5, and I'm wondering if this upgrade is a good idea.

Honestly, I think you might be better off going for an i5-14600K instead. It might save you from having to get a new motherboard, which can be a hassle.
If you go for the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, you'll definitely notice a performance boost in your games. However, check if your current motherboard can handle it since you're on a budget. Just keep in mind that the cost difference is significant!
