My b350 motherboard just died and I actually got a x570 instead of jumping to AM5. I might get the 5800x3d one day when it's even cheaper since I could probably use a GPU upgrade before a CPU.
I have a 5700G... Before you decide to laugh, I didn't realize when I bought the 5700G, that it didn't support PCIe Gen4, the 5800X does.
So, swapping my current 5700G for the 5800X to get PCIe Gen4 (which should take full advantage of my Gen4 NVMe and my RX 6800 XT). I along with the ~15% uplift in average performance, I should see better GPU and data transfer speeds to boot.
The 5700G I'll likely save for my son's next upgrade.
I did get it at $174.
I also have Radeon RX 480 graphics card and will probably need to upgrade this as well.

The 5700X and 5600 are just as good for gaming, use less power (65W vs 105W base TDP), and had deals for as low as $155 ($169 now) and $119 (at microcenter now) respectively. 5800X3D would be the best for gaming but still expensive and 5600 would make the most budget-performance sense in most scenario.
AMD 5000 series prices should come down more given the competing and arguably better Intel CPU model prices have just come down a lot.

The 5600 also runs comfortably with the included cooler and the 5800x does not come with one
For gaming, the 5800X3D is quite a bit better in many games but it is also a lot more expensive.
However, if you have a fast GPU, there are plenty of cases where a 3700X could be holding you back. Also, there are some games which are CPU intensive or highly single threaded. Again, in those cases a CPU upgrade would help you.
