The forum user's claim is technically incorrect, outdated, and misunderstands gaming workloads.
The Ryzen 7 9800X3D is not "too weak" for an RTX 5080.
It will, in fact, outperform the Intel i9-14900KF in most games, especially at high framerates and high-end GPU configurations.
If your main use case is gaming — especially with an RTX 5080 — the 9800X3D is the superior choice.
If you also do heavy workstation loads (Blender, code compiling, video rendering), then:
Intel = stronger multithread
X3D = better gaming

Checks all the boxes except not having 64GB RAM, and this being limited for upgrading due to barely adequate PS, then, as the G759 uses an X870 board vs B850 in the G757, so you might check if the B850 board is a slight downgrade vs top-tier boards (for future upgrades, features, etc).
Otherwise, enjoy it if you actually got one.

If it does end up becoming a problem with the one I bought, hopefully it's within the first year so the warranty covers it (or two years since I used a card with extended warranty).
