I'm on a budget of around $600 and trying to decide between getting the Ryzen 7 7700X3D for $300 or going all-in with an AM5 setup and picking the Ryzen 7 9700X for $450. I mainly play fast-paced FPS games and I also stream at the same time, so I really want the best performance possible. What's the best choice for my money?

If you're thinking about that Ryzen 7 7700X3D, make sure you know what you're really getting. If it's really the 5700X3D, then you're overpaying at $300. I'd suggest saving some cash and maybe putting more towards a better GPU, especially since gaming often depends on that!
I totally get that! I upgraded from a Ryzen 5 3600, and I was bottlenecked with my GPU. Investing in a GPU might be more beneficial in the long run.
