I'm building my first PC and I'm stuck on which Ryzen CPU to get. I'm planning to game, stream, edit videos, and do some music production in FL Studio. I was thinking about the R7 7800X3D, but I've heard it might not be the best for content creation. The R7 7700X has also been suggested to me, but I'd love to hear more opinions before I make my choice.

If you want the best of both worlds, consider the 9800X3D. It’s a bit pricey, but it’s top-notch for gaming and productivity. Otherwise, the 7700X is a great value, and you can always upgrade later when you need more power.
I'd say go for the 7800X3D. It performs really well for both gaming and content creation. Plus, if you want something that hits the sweet spot for everything you plan to do, it’s a solid choice. Just check out some benchmarks to see how it stacks against others for your specific tasks!
Benchmarking is a smart move! Make sure to see how it performs under workloads similar to what you'll be doing.
Either the 7800X3D or the 7700X will work fine for your needs. If you’re leaning towards gaming performance, the X3D could be a better fit. Just remember that the GPU you choose will also play a big role in your overall performance, especially for gaming and video editing.
I’d recommend the 7800X3D. While it has a slightly lower clock speed than the 7700X, it shines in gaming thanks to its 3D cache setup. Just a heads up, some people say that if you ever need more power, jumping to the 9800X3D addresses those clock speed concerns in multicore tasks.
True! The 7700X can definitely handle what you want to do for now, and when budget allows, you're set for an upgrade.
