I'm trying to decide between the Ryzen 7 5800XT and the Ryzen 5 5500X3D. The 5500X3D is $100 cheaper, but I'm looking for the best overall buy considering I mainly want to play games and do some programming. Any suggestions?

It really comes down to how you plan to use it. Using the term "overall" isn't very clear because it depends on your specific needs. It's like comparing a sports car and a truck – they're good at different things!
If gaming is your top priority, I’d go for the Ryzen 5 5500X3D. It's optimized for gaming performance, outperforming the 5800XT in most titles. For productivity tasks, though, the 5800XT has the edge. So, think about what you'll use it for more often.
Definitely pick the Ryzen 5 5500X3D if you're primarily gaming. It's known to handle games better than the 5800XT. Just double-check that you actually have access to the 5500X3D, as it was released mostly in Latin America.
