I have MSI X570 Tomahawk, and it has been but a disappointment so far. Very buggy and unstable.
IMHO, If you are willing to pay more than 300$ for motherboard itself, i strongly recommend ASUS ROG STRIX or ROG Crosshair VIII Hero X570 board. But it will be more than enough if you can snag one of MSI X570 Tomahawk, you can still save some money and provide almost similar experience. There can be a lot of debate whether you should not spend too much money on the motherboard itself, but there is a reason so many people have chosen MSI X570 Tomahawk. It will not have fancy RGB on the ROG boards, but will have pretty good headroom for overclocking (If you need any) and any troubleshooting. Enjoy your shopping!
Just buy a cheap x570 board. People spend way to much on motherboards.

Quote from everythingis1 :
So how many generations has it taken for Intel to gain 30% improvement in performance?
First off, the performance gains are 15-20% overall, not 30%. Second, that's about 2 intel generations. The knock against intel is power consumption (and associated heat) - not performance.

Quote from DeC5799 :
IMHO, although 5900 is faster by a little, its just 1 generation newer and the performance difference doesn't really justify the upgrade cost. In fact many folks use the 5900 release and hope the 3900 retail prices drops as a result so I they can save good money and buy the 3900 instead as 3900 offers performance that is close enough. $300 (after selling off the 3900) for 10% difference or less isn't worth it. If you were coming from 3600, or 2700... it might be a different story. 6 core to 12 core is a huge boost in multi-thread performance and you can also open more background apps.

If somehow the 3900 is not enough (wow?), than 5900 is likely not enough too, and you'll probably need the 5950 or Threadripper territory to get any significant boost.

The thing is that some software such as lightroom. Heck let's just say all Adobe because a lot of them have this issue... Is that Adobe software is heavily cpu dependent. We wish it would use the gpu more but they don't. Some basic operations do use the gpu heavily but start using some of the more esoteric editing (that make pictures and videos sing), it uses all cpu. Going from 3900x to 16 cores doesn't help as much (because they don't use all the cores and threads) as the the memory bandwidth and cache improvements that zen3 offers. But every bit of cpu power helps with Adobe.
