Reposting a slight edit of my comment from the Newegg thread:
Good deal but if you're looking for an AM4 upgrade for gaming purposes you're better off opting for the 5700X3D as the 3D cache usually results in higher average FPS and better 1% lows. 5800X will beat it slightly in productivity tasks. 5700X3D price has been coming down and you can usually find it on AliExpress for around $150 if you want to take on the small risk of being without a consumer warranty and don't need the stock cooler.
this is a really good price... i'm trying to justify not upgrading a 5600x or my dad's 3800x. Plus, Ryzen 9xxx is out, so it's probably not worth pumping money into anything DDR4 now...
I am running 7900X, and also got 8600G, 5800x, but I had to buy this one since the price was so cheap.
wonder if I can upgrade HP Pavilion TP01-0066 or 580-137c with this 5800X, it would be great....

can i use my cpu cooler from 2700x or do i need to buy 3rd party cooler?
I upgraded from 2700x to 5900x, if you have the prism cooler from 2700x, it'll suffice, mostly. Keep in mind that 5800x and 5900x run hotter than 2700x. I had to swap out the cooler due to it constantly running at higher speed to cool my 5900x and can get pretty loud. I'd recommend trying it out with your cooler first, worst case is shelling out another $30-40 for a more efficient cooler later.

Thanks in that case I'll wait for 5700x3d or 5900x. I heard you have to undervolt these chips to run cooler . Might wait for new platform build.
