    At this point in the cycle why would you bother upgrading to something lower than 5800x3D?

    I get that it could be a budget thing, but at that point just save another couple months. Its a dead platform growth wise now so just get the best one or stand pat

      Yeah, but you wait a couple of months, then new stuff is announced and they tell you wait another couple of months and next thing you know, time has passed and you’re still waiting with your old hardware.

      IMHO if the 5500X3D and the 5700X3D come out with a good price tag, it’s worth considering over the 5800X3D if that means getting a better GPU.
