If you're 90% gaming and nothing else really, go with the 5800x3d. Otherwise it's easier to claim the 5900x is marginally more future-proofed with all the cores. For what it's worth, I went from a 3900x to a 5900x, and while you wouldn't expect much (if any) difference during gaming, the experience was much smoother for me. It eliminated a lot of the "low FPS" drops and that, at least anecdotally, made things much more smooth. I think the 5900x is hard to beat if you want to upgrade your AM4.
It could go lower but if you're upgrading AM4 now it's one of the best values. All around great performance in single threaded, multithreaded and gaming.

man I love my 5900X. It's a very nice increase over the 3900X. But I'm now on the 7900X and that's a beast. I just got the Crucial 4TB NVMe to hold me over until I can get the Gen 5 drives. Make sure you get high quality DDR5 to make the upgrade worth it.
I'm torn about whether I want upgrade my ryzen 3600 am4 x570 board or save up and get an Intel based system for future proofing for at least 3 years.
My use case is productivity, gaming, and general use.
What do you all think?
I personally just upgraded my gpu, psu and cpu. It was over 2k cuz of 4090 and 5800x3d. Kept my x570. I think it really depends on what gpu your using. My 3700x would of bottlenecked my 4090 hard. I was spending so much as it was.. I decided not to upgrade my board or my ram but my rig is 90% gaming. X570 is a great board. Ddr5 ram is OK but nothing insane. Honestly if your not looking for a straight gaming cpu like the 5800x3d then I would upgrade.

I have the 5800x3d on my Alienware Aurora r14. Can I upgrade to the 5900X? Is it plug and play? I have the 1000w power supply with water cooling, 6900XT 16Gb and 64gb DDR4 system ram. Please advise. Thanks.

The 5900X is not an upgrade from the 5800x3d unless you do a lot of heavily threaded work.

I plan to do some video editing in 4K and photoshop work. Is it worth it to upgrade? The only upgrade I did was drop another 32gb ram to make it 64gb presently and really notice no difference. Thanks in advance for your reply.

A greater quantity of RAM only matters if you were routinely running out of it. More does not really equal faster. A fast hard drive will make a machine feel faster more than a faster CPU these days, unless we are talking about specific use cases. There are fine articles on the internet explaining perceived speed and what affects it.

I was going to get the 5800x3d but ended up with a great used/new deal on a 3900x for 300 bucks. Guy bought a 5900x to upgrade from a 3900x and never used it. Still sealed in the box never opened. I got a good deal on a used reference AMD 6800 for 400 with box and all. The used market is hot right now haha.
