Not sure they're still making them, so, eventually they go back up except on the used market. The question is, when does it hit bottom, and will you recognize it when it happens? Is it now?
I just bought a 5700X a week or so back for $185 for my old x470 MSI Gaming Pro. The 5800X was about $220-ish price at the time, and I considered it for half a second. The 65W TDP on the 5700X is better for non-5XX series boards, and this gets close to the 5800X in almost all performance metrics while being substantially less power hungry.
Depends a bit on your needs- especially B550 vs X570... Anandtech recommends the Gigabyte B550I Aorus Pro AX, with close competition from the similar B550 boards from Asus and Asrock- they do also mention if you need Thunderbolt 3/X570 the Asrock X570 Phanton Gaming-ITX/TB3 might be worth the 20% upcharge.
Personally I haven't built any tiny systems recently, but I do tend to really like Gigabyte motherboards FWIW (currently running the X570 Aorus Master with my 5800X3D).
Just built in the Dan a4 h2o with a 5800x3d. Used the gigabyte b550i aorus pro ax and it's a very well built board but it's been pretty buggy. Actually my first experience with a buggy motherboard unfortunately. It rebooted during the windows install which initially felt like it bricked, but I was able to get video out again by doing some weird bios flashback things. Now I'm up and running but audio has been buggy, Bluetooth has disconnects as well. I'm sending it back and trying the Asrock b550 phantom gaming.

So then it's not a very well built board If it's buggy considering it's -last- gen and still having issues........

Would this be a good buy now or wait?

ASROCK B550-ITX/ac is great ITX board with builtin WiFi and the NVMe slot has builtin head shield. I am building 2nd build with this motherboard in a Hyte Revolt 3 case. Very reasonable price for what you get: $120-$130. My latest micro-ATX buld used the Gigabyte Aorus Elite.

Currently $189 for the 5700X:

Not a better deal per se, but better thermals/efficiency with really close capabilities.

Since this is an AM4 CPU, probably not.
