400 dollars for 16 cores 32 threads is a decent deal especially if you dont want to upgrade to AM5.
If you're going to use your PC mainly for gaming, this wouldn't even be on your radar.
Not everyone is all into gaming.
Some run virtual machines or docker/containers to provide services to small home or small office.
Some run Android emulators to bot games to get virtual game items in mobile games.
If one still got a lot of DDR4 RAM sticks from all of these years ago and got an old/used AM4 board, it makes sense to stick with 5950x.
Some use 16 cores to mine the cryptos. There was a time when it makes sense in $$ to have 5950x and not 7950x because the DDR5 costs, AM5 board costs, CPU costs etc.
Considering AMD is still supporting AM4 with more processors this year.
Plus for video editing and real cpu insensitive programs this is actually hugely more powerful than a 7800x3d

It might make sense if someone is already heavily invested in the AM4 platform, but this would have to be a somewhat specific edge case where they can't live without additional cores.

Case, monitor,cooling, and Windows I can figure out.
I just need a mobo, graphics card, ram, psu, cpu recommendations from the Slickdeals crew.
