5800x3d would probably do fine for you unless you really want max CPU perf. The AM5 platform is currently a lot of money and bother to get like +30% for games, zen5 x3d will probably expand that to maybe +50% and it'll be a couple of years until zen6 x3d exists to be a really compelling upgrade.
The upgrades to Zen 3 and to vcache were much more impactful and easy since it doesn't require any software or hardware change other than taking off the CPU cooler and swapping CPU. No different board, no different RAM and no reinstalling windows BS. At the top end of the gains, going from a 3900x to 5800x3d was +150% perf on WoW.

Sweet sounds good.
I’m going to pull the trigger on the 7900xtx as well as it’s something like 30% cheaper than a 4080super in my region.
