AAAWave has the CPU only for $280: https://slickdeals.net/f/17307058-amd-ryzen-7-5800x3d-3-4ghz-8-core-16-thread-am4-desktop-processor-280-free-shipping
If you already have an AM4 build and are looking to max it out, then this is the CPU to do it with.
However, if you're building a new rig, skip this CPU and build on the AM5 platform with the Ryzen 5 7600 or 7600X, both of which are much cheaper and match the 5800X3D's gaming performance. AM5 will be around for another while, so you'll have a CPU upgrade path without having to also replace your motherboard etc.
PS: Micro Center (if you have one nearby) has had 7600X + motherboard + RAM combos for $250 in the past.
PPS: The 7600X (no cooler included) has been cheaper than the 7600 (cooler included) recently, so get the X variant.
Edit #1: Fixed some factual errors.
Edit #2: Micro Center has a 5800X3D + B550 mobo + RAM bundle for $320: https://www.microcenter
