My old specs are i7-9700 and RTX 2060. As Intel’s latest cpu suc, I decided to switch to 9800x3d, but it is either out of stock on Amazon currently or overpriced (~$700) in my country. Do you think it’s worth waiting for the 9800X3D to go back MSRP, or should I just go ahead with the 7800X3D and save some money?

P.S. I ordered 7800x3d with $399 a few days ago, idk if it is a right move. also probably upgrade my GPU to 5070ti later.

Thank you for your advice!

Edit: Well the reason that I need to “upgrade” is because my mobo is broken lol
