but its within ~3% difference on that ram. you wont even miss it with that blazing fast cpu. especially since they are sold out often of the cpu.
if this is your only opportunity to get it, definitely get it for the cpu alone, and eat the 3%.
Also you can manually oc the ram to cl30 but it will take 30mins-1hour to figure out the sub timings and voltage.
Btw if you get this processor, it can be way more than 3% better in gaming than every single other processor on the market today. Some benchmarks go up to almost 30% under certain resolutions, with certain settings, in certain games.
LTTs review compared CP2077 for example on this and found even at 1080p when you max settings you're only seeing maybe a 2% improvement going 7800X3D to 9800X3D, less than 1% by 1440p/max (even the 5800X3D is less than 1% slower here than the 9800X3D), and by 4k scores are basically identical. And they tested several other games this way and saw even less difference at the ultra settings across resolutions.... and I don't imagine there's a LOT of folks who buy a top-tier gaming CPU then run 1080p low?
The 9800X3D does beat the 7800X3D in productivity testing by a decent bit-- but if that's your primary use case the 9700X beats both in most testing (let alone the higher core/speed 9xxx chips).... Still, if you're primarily a gamer but ALSO do a decent amount of cpu-heavy productivity stuff, the upgrade is probably worth it.... purely for gaming though, not so much.... It's possible the gaming benefits will be more apparent in gaming with say a future 5090 or something, but no way to quantify that now.

Is it worth it to switch for the price difference?

Depends how much you paid and what kind of gaming you do (and I guess how much productivity stuff you do).... improvements at lower resolutions/quality will be significant- but above that, even on a 4090, you'll still be GPU limited not CPU and will see little if any difference.

I think that I will probably have to pair it with discreet GPU (4070 Ti or better)
I'm in Texas only have two Dallas or Houston. And I'm in the middle between both them.
