How much hotter does this chip run than say a 9700x? I see an eco mode is an option as well.
My last build was a decade ago: Asus P8Z68-V Pro + Intel Core i5-2500K overclocked and running Windows 10 2016 LTSB. Still great but difficult to find RAM for it. Thought it would be more practical to build a new system.

M$ has pulled back on allowing unsupported hardware. The last thing was ppl that bypassed the hardware check should revert back 10 asap. Now take that for what you will. Is it for real or is M$ just looking for more $$$? Either one is possible at this point. They sure have botched the last update and instead of fixing the issue, just told ppl to skip that one. Pretty sketchy either way.
Edit: for this: VENGEANCE RGB 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5-6000 PC5-48000 CL36 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit CMH32GX5M2M6000Z36 - Black

That was such a good deal. I got it for ~$475 about a year ago. Returned the ram and mobo and basically paid $220 for the 7800x3d.
Case: Fractal Design Focus G
PSU: Antec Earthwatts Gold Pro
GPU: Zotec RTX 2060 12GB twin fan
Storage: 2x SATA SSDs (which prob "slow" relative to a lot of modern m.2 but fast enough for me)
I don't do much PC gaming but do like to have something capable for some of the major releases (still fire up games dating back as far as Half-Life to Witcher 3 from time to time).
Or would I be better off waiting...? I don't plan to re-built until summer so not sure if it's better I wait (don't know if summer prices would be better vs worse than winter prices).
I went from an overclocked 3770K to an AMD 3600 system like 5 years back, I moved over the same 2070 video card. It helped a lot not just frame rate but the jitter and jerkiness when it needs high CPU load. The extra cores and newer architecture help alot. For example in Novigrad my older system, while it was playable it bogged down and had jitter with all the buildings and characters on screen but it was smooth as butter on my new system with higher settings on.
I would try to atleast get windows on an NVM SSD and even some games, you can reuse the old SATA SSDs for storage or game drives if its a must. You would want a new GPU too if you can afford it but even if you had to put that off you will notice improvements just upgrading to a new modern platform for CPU/ram/mobo.
You'll see more than just frame rate gains and the newer NVM SSD's are way faster than the old SATA SSD's you will notice faster boot times for both windows and loading games. A lot of stuff that just numbers on a screen cant really describe.
If you want to upgrade during summer just wait until Amazon prime sales, that is a great time.
I bought this bundle with the 7950X3D but upgraded the Ram to 64gb ddr5 6000 CL30 (the bundled ram is on FB marketplace)
Didn't know they allow returns on bundled items and let you keep the discounted price?! At least it said they don't let you keep the bundle discount if any part is returned in the fine print of the bundle deal I purchased a few months ago. YMMV I guess.
If I remember 7700x all core boost with arround -20 to -30 curve optimizer boost to 5.2 and 9700x to 5.3Ghz. In game its almost 0 diffrence and both boost to arround 5.6-5.7GHz
Unless you bought threadripper ðŸ˜

my gaming consist of maybe playing the first 2-3 hours of a game and being bored until the next thing interest me
Absolutely not.
The 7800X3D is inferior to the 9900X in every other way except for high refresh rate 1080P gaming.
I would only spend the extra $100 on the inferior CPU if I were a competitive gamer.
