It depends on your use case but for gaming it shouldn't really be a problem.
With x3d chips you're getting a large stack of ultra fast L3 memory on the chip which is great for reducing latency which is important for gaming. The trade off is higher heat so they're not quite as good for pure workstation uses. The 9900x has four more cores than the 9800x3d you won't use for gaming but only 66% the L3 memory.
Though I when I made my original comment I thought they were closer in price. The 9800x3d is $100 more.
Honestly you won't notice much difference other than how long you can go before you start noticing bottle necks.
