The 5950X will score about 46,000 on CPU Mark and I'm not a gamer. If you have the board this would get you by for quite a while until better generations come out and drop in price. If you have a 6 or 8 core 5000 series, you'll notice the difference in everything you do.
Yes, I know about the 7000 and 9000 series processors. I built a 7950X3D for a friend. But I'm waiting until I can really get my money's worth out of a complete upgrade, board, CPU and RAM.
That won't be a 7000 or 9000 series. I'll have to wait and see, but I'm looking for about a 110,00 to 130,000 CPU Mark score, a little over double or even triple what it scores now. 100K might do with new features that I can't add with a PCIe card, such as upgraded PCIe bus, encoding/decoding and who knows what they'll have by then.
My machine has 115 TB of storage and I use it for video/photo processing and 3D. It's the machine that we dreamed about in the 80's, a fast Unix computer. I'm running Tumbleweed.
Seriously, my wife has a 5700X and it's great for her. Zero complaints.
Me, I'll take all of the raw horse power that I can afford (willing to spend).
Do you NEED 16 cores? You can get a 5700x 8-core 65w CPU for $100 on AliExpress. I just got one yesterday for anew build.
What kind of build? Cost?
