I'm considering upgrading my CPU from the 7600X and I'm torn between the 7800X3D and the 9800X3D. The 9800X3D costs about $150 more, so I'm curious if that extra investment is justified. Also, I'm wondering if a 750W power supply will be sufficient to support it alongside my 3080 ROG graphics card.

The choice really hinges on what games you plan to play. Some titles may see a significant performance bump with the 9800X3D, while in other scenarios, you might hardly notice a difference.
Unless you're gunning for higher frames at 1080p in competitive games, I wouldn't upgrade without also considering a better GPU. It all comes down to your gaming needs.
I’m in the same boat with a 3090. The price difference just doesn't seem worth it to me. I’m leaning towards the 7800X3D since it's more budget-friendly.
A 750W PSU should be sufficient for your setup. I'd personally go for the 7800X3D. The performance difference isn't significant enough to justify the extra cost for most users.
The 9800X3D is generally around 10% better than the 7800X3D, but that doesn’t mean it's worth the extra cash. If the price increase isn't aligned with that performance boost, you might want to skip it.
