That CPU will get everything out of that 2070 Super. If there was any bottleneck at all, it would be that GPU. Even something like a 4070ti super wouldn't be held back by that CPU.
So go buy a 9600x then, this CPU is obviously meant for people clinging to the AM4 platform for extended terms due to the BS pricing going on right now for components.
Literally none of what you said is accurate. This was widely requested BECAUSE memory prices skyrocketed, yet DDR4 still hadn't. Enthusiasts were foregoing upgrading to AM5 in lieu of what they already owned. Then the 5800X3D went EOL so it was in high demand. When they rereleased it, it still sold gangbusters. It's still the best AM4 CPU reasonably available if you exclude Ryzen 9.
The 5800X3D remains a strong AM4 gaming upgrade, especially for people moving up from older Ryzen chips and wanting the most out of a midrange GPU at 1080p or 1440p. It pairs well with cards like the RTX 2070 Super and even a 3060 Ti, and the included bonus items have varied in past promos, with some bundles adding a 240 millimeter all in one cooler or thermal pad. The main drawback is value, since the bundle price is seen as high and the included 850 watt ASRock PSU is non modular and viewed as entry level. That makes it feel more like a niche AM4 refresh than a full build centerpiece.
AM4 gamers using a midrange graphics card at 1440p, because the 5800X3D still gets the most out of the GPU without holding it back.
Builders expecting a premium power supply for a main gaming rig, because the included unit is rated as low-tier and may be better left for testing or backup.
Builders who already have a strong GPU and are mainly trying to fix a graphics bottleneck, because the CPU may not improve frame rates much when the GPU is the limit.
The included PSU is non-modular and is described as C+ / bronze-tier, so extra cables may need to be hidden and it is better suited to a secondary or budget build. It is also treated as a part many would not trust for a high-value system, where a reputable Gold-rated unit is preferred.
No meaningful CPU bottleneck is expected with a 2070 Super at 1440p; the GPU is more likely to be the limit. The 5800X3D can also leave headroom for much faster cards, so it is not the weak link in that pairing.
The bundle has been reported with a thermal pad, and some previous promos also included a 240mm or 240 AIO cooler. The exact extras can vary by listing and promotion, so the current deal should be checked for the included items shown on the product page.
It is mainly a gaming upgrade for AM4 users, with the biggest gains coming from older or lower-end chips like the 5600/5700/5800 class and much smaller gains over a 5900-series CPU. At 1440p the advantage is smaller than at 1080p, so the value depends heavily on your current CPU and resolution.
Yes, but you need to verify the correct listing: scroll to the default-checked "Yes! Add my bonus gift to cart" section, confirm the "Gift included" line, and check that the -$20 promo appears in cart. Other 5800X3D listings on Newegg may not include the same PSU or discount.
What a world we live in where RAM is so expensive the most logical thing is to upgrade a CPU based on a chipset that is over 10 years old.
The 7800X3D was under 150 dollars on AliExpress after CB and various discounts but I still can't bring myself to upgrade my 9 year old rig due to how expensive RAM is.

Builders expecting a premium power supply for a main gaming rig, because the included unit is rated as low-tier and may be better left for testing or backup.
Shoppers comparing against cheaper AM4 alternatives, because the bundle price is hard to justify versus a 5700X3D or 5600X3D.
Gamers chasing a big upgrade from a Ryzen 5900-series or 5950X, because the performance gain is much smaller than from older AM4 chips.
