Thanks for this. Buy now or wait. Still need a video card and cooling blocks...(To give you an idea where I am on the build)
If all you need is a video card and cooling...buy now, get the PNY 4080 from dell and what ever cooling you prefer. I went with the Gallahad II trinity 360 with infinity fans for about $180 from amazon.

edit - for reference, I went with the 7800x3d processor ($350) and Asus Tuf 4080 super ($999) - 5% credit card discount.

I know this gets asked every time one of these goes on sale but I'm gonna do it again:

Gaming only= wait for a deal on the 7800x3d
Gaming + productivity= get this

Correct?

I went 7800x3d due to it's the top gaming processor. I will likely upgrade on the next generation and still use my current M/B. IF I were buying a processor for gaming and productivity to use for more than a couple years, it would be a 7950xd3. IF I were NOT concerned with the best gaming performance, I would buy this chip.

Kind of. Yes on the gaming side but this the 7950x (non-3D) so it won't perform as well as the x3D counterparts but will excel more at productivity tasks that don't benefit from the 3D V cache vs the 7950x3d. It's still a high end CPU and probably won't be the bottleneck of your system vs your GPU.

Depends on why you need to upgrade in the first place.

If just for gaming, put that $475 towards a new GPU before ever upgrading the CPU.

Both the 7950X or 8950X will also have much higher cooling needs than your 7600, so you'd have to consider if you need to update your cooling too.

I am using 7950X3D and 7950X with air cooling single tower Deepcool AK400. It never exceeds 45 Degree C at idle and 70 degree C during game. This gen CPU is super efficient and cooling is not an issue for the top tier Ryzen 9, even for the 7950X without 3D.

Quote from PowerfulShape750 :
Should I wait for 8950x given I have 7600?
for cpu's it depends, I'll be honest cpu (especially amd cpus) have a tendancy to have the previous gen go on sale the next year at fairly steep discounts but at the same time its a how much do i want to spend, how much time do i want to wait?

the next cpu's will probably debut at around 700 (amd may have theirs discounted a few months after that by 50 or 100 for a special sale-- the 7950 x3d had that but i would say they probably made too many and realized it)

the difference "from my understanding" between the 7000 series and the... honestly i think the desktop is going to be named 9000 series ... is only supposed to be roughly 15 percent, while the next leap will be coming from the line after that which will have some sort of big-little arch

This. I imagine we'll see some great discounts on current gen parts to push out the rest of the stock before Zen 5 launches in Sept/Oct. Rumor has it we'll be looking at a pretty significant bump in performance (25-30%).

This, tempting price but at this point you might as well wait.

Wait for first week of June 3rd - June 5th for AMD Zen 5 Announcement. Ryzen 9000 series will be even faster. These will drop even more!

I would get neither deal nor next gen unless you are actively bottlenecked. Zen 5 desktop will mostly be AVX performance increases so if you know you use that instruction set then you'll upgrade. For gaming switching to X3D proc is the ticket.
