I came across a brand new Ryzen 7 5800X3D selling for about $275 (1000 PLN) nearby. Typically, I notice that these AM4 X3D chips are priced higher—like the 5500X3D also around $275 and both the 5700X3D and 5800X3D often costing at least $500. I'm debating whether to go for it or hold onto my 5700X until RAM prices drop and then upgrade to AM5. What do you all think?

You could find a 5500X3D cheaper online, but honestly, the 5800X3D is a much better choice for performance. Just stick with what you have until you can afford AM5 if you’re not in a rush.
I got a 7800X3D on AliExpress for just $225 with a deal. But even so, if you can grab the 5800X3D for $275, that's still a solid choice!
What kinds of games do you play and at what resolution? If you're into something like RimWorld or Terraria, the X3D can really help with performance in late-game situations!
I'll be playing heavily modded RimWorld, Terraria, and Minecraft. I'm aiming for around 144 fps at 2K, so performance is key. I'm actually getting a used 4070 Super soon, so this setup will be solid.
Yes, definitely buy it! I've only seen these going for around $500 lately, so it’s a no-brainer.
Seriously, get it before someone else does—especially if it’s brand new and unopened. At that price, it won’t last long on the market! Check out the benchmarks I got with my X3D [link].
I have the 5800X3D and I’d totally buy another at that price. No hesitation! It’s a perfect fit for a small form factor build too.
Honestly, if you find the Ryzen 7 5800X3D for $275, you should snag it immediately. It's a top-tier AM4 gaming CPU and that price is a steal!
Drop everything and buy it! If you end up not using it, you can flip it on eBay for around $500!
It really depends on your gaming needs. The 5700X3D offers a decent boost over the 5700X—about 15-20% faster—but it’s not a monumental leap. If you can hold off, it might be worth waiting until AM5 becomes more affordable.
Don't overlook how much better the X3D performs, especially in gaming on the AM4 platform. It’s worth considering!
