Edit: I went through this decision some months back. Should I get a 5600X or 5800X or a 5900X? I had a 3600 but given my work (scientific computing), 6 cores were not enough. Prices were still high then and I went with the 5900X because for an extra $100 over the 5800X I got 12 cores (24 logical processors) versus the 8 (16). Going from a 6 core processor to a 12 core one was a huge jump for me. 6 to 8 really wouldn't have made much of a difference. I can use the cores and already had a lot of RAM and fast SSDs.
Most people recommend the 5900X or the 5600X over the 5800X. The 5900X isn't that much more (normally) that people should probably just skip the 5800X if they really need more cores. Otherwise the 5600X will be plenty.
Now, at the $300 price range it's a more difficult choice between the 5800X and a 5900X. The 5900X is still usually more than $500. With this current price, I'd rather get the 5800X than the 5900X and save $200+. That's a motherboard or RAM or a nice SSD or Apple stock.

What kind of build are you planning to do? Huge tower,small form factor,micro atx?
Was out of stock at Best Buy but I went right before they closed. They price matched and I can pick it up in the morning when they open

My friend walked into the store mid day today said there was no 3060 Ti left but a stack of 3060 12gb gen 4 so he grabbed one
The etherium nerf helped
