I'm currently running a Ryzen 7 5800X paired with a Gigabyte RTX 5080 Gaming OC, connected to an LG 38" ultra-wide monitor at a resolution of 3840x1600 (WQHD+). Everything seems to be working well so far, but I'm curious if I might face a bottleneck in the future. I'm considering an upgrade to AM5, but I want to make sure I can keep using my 64GB 3600MHz RAM and my ASUS Strix B550-E Gaming motherboard for now. With the Ryzen 5800X3D unavailable, I'm also thinking about possibly switching to the 5700X3D. What do you guys think?

To avoid bottleneck issues, keep an eye on your CPU and GPU usage when gaming. If your GPU usage is consistently maxed out, then it's something to watch out for. If you're hitting good FPS numbers but not utilizing the GPU completely, you're probably in a good spot for now. It just depends on what games you're playing and at what settings!
Yeah, I get that! My GPU sometimes goes over 100 FPS, but it doesn't max out the utilization. Wondering how long I can keep the 5800X without any issues.
