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.
The 5000 series Ryzen were supposed to come way down in price "the beginning of March" according to some geniuses who posted here a month ago, due to the 7000 series. That has not happened. 5700x costs more than it did a month ago. I paid $169 for mine in early Feb.
For reference I got it last year for $200 at MC. This chip has major heating issues at lower 80c on load. I was able to cool it down to mid 60c using Rzyen Master curve optimizer setting. Lowers performance slightly but I rather have the lower temps
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).
You could even go with b450, or 370, or even a320 boards could support this I think. b550 is not necessary.

The major advantage of a B550 motherboard is you can run a PCIe 4.0 NVMe solid state drive like the WD SN850x that is 7300 MB/sec reads. Twice the speed of a SSD you could put on a B450 MB for not much more money for the MB. If you have a B450 though AMD at least gave you an upgrade path for the CPU.

Unless transferring large amounts of data on a regular basis you would probably not see a real world difference between pcie 3 and 4 ssd.

I would have to respectfully disagree with you on that since I own both B450/Gen3 motherboards and several B550/Gen4 motherboards. The B550/Gen4 I am typing this on now has a WD Black SN850x. The difference in response time for normal stuff like starting up apps or even moderate size file copying is tremendous.

Currently $189 for the 5700X:

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

Sure, compare a store that only 10% of people can access to one that everyone can access!
How well does this CPU undervolt? Just want to run a simple CPU fan. Or am I best off just buying a 5700X
