The 5800 is a great CPU, but the non-existent 5700, 5700x and 5800 all would have been much better value, and for that I will always hate it.
At $450, the jump to the 5900x and its 12 cores is relatively small (+$100), and I'm almost certain that was AMD's intent.
IMO, msrp should have been $400 (even if it sold for more because of supply v demand issues).
Also- as a Zen 3 owner, if I were in the market to build a new pc and didn't already have a compatible zen 3 motherboard, I'd be real tempted to go Intel right now. Gen 10 prices are pretty damn good and a total system build price would likely be lower than comparable quality AMD. Similar-enough performance and readily available. If you don't mind the 2x power usage
edited to fix a mistake about the 5800x's msrp
Once properly setup, this thing is a beast and runs much cooler than Intel.

also, since it seems like you're the kind of person who holds onto a pc for quite some time, that's another reason to get a better one for a bit more money.

Still rocking my 4700K with no issues, waiting for the chip manufacturing to get settle for actual deals on the next tick or tock.

It would be nice to have a 5700X and a 5600, but it makes sense given that AMD is capacity constrained and their chips are in high demand even with the price bumps. It's the victory lap they get to take for Intel losing the performance lead and screwing up Rocket Lake. TSMC 7nm also has high yields so they don't need to disable many CPUs to below a 5600X.
The very cheap prices for Zen 1 and Zen+ are a bit of an anomaly. Intel was in the lead, and the processors were cheaper to make because they weren't on TSMC 7nm. Zen 3's $50 across-the-board price bump reflects the pandemic launch and performance lead. And the CPUs ended up selling above MSRP anyway. No excuse for dropping the coolers, except that the "budget" builders would get one with the popular 5600X.

i also wanted to add that since you don't know how long you'd be sitting on your components for, there are a couple downsides - prices may go down or new components may show up, and you may be sitting on brand new components that may be defective without you knowing. return window will close fast and you'd have to go through warranty.
1. Zen 3 prices will definitely drop. It might take Intel launching Alder Lake for it to happen, but it will happen.
2. AMD has to continue making CPUs for the AM4 socket for a while. When Zen 4 launches it will be on the AM5 socket with a new node, TSMC 5nm. So Zen 3 or a refresh of it shouldn't disappear from the market suddenly.
3. No integrated graphics on the CPU if you want to start using it immediately (without an old GPU).
