Paid 332 for this nearly 2 years ago (on prime day). Been a superb process for gaming and productivity. Scored 42500 Passmark (stock was like 41000) after doing some lite undervolting.

This is still a 'kick ass' CPU when it comes to both productivity and gaming, even compared to the 5800X3D and Ryzen 7xxx series. Most likely you'll run into a GPU bottleneck before encountering any CPU limitations.
But it also probably depends on what your plans are for the 5600x
spend the extra and get an x3d model. you will be maxing out what the AM4 platform can do unless you are doing alot of rendering the extra cores wont really seem like much of a difference.

I second that. This is really a good price for a very competent CPU. I paid $335 for it in late 2022 and it has been running rock solid since.
Would the 5700X3D at $244 be a better choice for gaming? I assume for other tasks, the 5900X would be superior.
Gaming and even light productivity, if upgrading, I'd personally go with the 5700x3d 10 times in 10. You want the high l3 cache and you also don't want to be crossing ccds.
Of course, new build I'd just get a 7600 (which will be comparable to 5700x3d) to tide me over and wait for new 9000 am5 this summer

For productivity, probably.
