For productivity, 5900X.
For mixed workloads (gaming and productivity) it really depends which you value more.
If you want amazing gaming performance that can often come close to (or even exceed) Ryzen 7000/13th Gen Intel then the 5800X3D it is.
If you're ok with Ryzen 5000 series gaming performance but need more cores/threads to make money or save time then the 5900X is a better bet.

FWIW: Most desktops are GPU limited.

Or just wait and do it all then? I am ONLY into 1440 gaming on my 31.5 monitor and as along as I can get 60 FPS, I am cool

If you're not looking to upgrade your entire system and want to game at 1080p or 1440p over 100 fps but think your older Ryzen CPU is holding your GPU back, this is the best way to get the most of your GPU on an older platform. For anyone building a new system now, I'd leave AM4 alone unless you're getting an amazing deal on a motherboard and ram because it's not going to be getting updated any longer. You'll get 90% of the gaming performance and a lot better productivity out of AM5 or the (soon to also be obsolete) LGA1700 platform for around the same price as what you'd have paid to build a 5800X3D system from the ground up.
This is a great price for this CPU if you're planning to keep your old AM4 system running for a while longer, I paid $100 more and haven't regretted it at all.
