Yea a few of my friends were thinking to upgrade as some of them have 3600 and 2700x. After seeing the reviews, they are going to 5800X3D and spend the money they saved on 3080 Ti or 3090 that are getting pretty heavily discounted. Sad that after the crypto boom finally crashed, the new GPUs/CPUs are so overpriced that last generation parts are still the better buy. Hopefully next time around, we will see better priced products from these companies.

Oddly enough, that's what I was wanting to do.

I've been thinking that the 5800x3D seems like a good fit for me, since I just game, but also use vegas and Clip studio Paint and not much else. Tho the cooler is something I'd have to think carefully on, as I hear that CPU tends to run pretty hot. I'm thinking that if I get that CPU, I could save the rest for a cheaper RTX 3080 down the line, seeing as how I'm priced the fuck outta the new lineup for the future. 

Yea I'd say getting a 5800X3D would be a good choice if you can get a like a 240mm AIO or higher tier air cooler. A lot of them can go on sale and if you don't mind the looks, the Arctic Freezer 2 comes highly recommended from GN for its performance and cheapness. Personally, I won't be thinking to upgrade until Meteor Lake or Zen 5 because those are the big ground up redesigns from both companies in terms of CPU but that's 2024 or later.

I will say that the clock is ticking because Nvidia has already stopped producing Ampere and I am sure AMD will stop 5800X3D production if they haven't already. So if you can, I'd snag one sooner than later if you can find them for a good price. Make sure to get 3080 12GB model if possible.
