I'm helping my girlfriend get her first PC together. I was always an Intel person but recently decided to change things up. I was looking over CPUs and everyone is talking up the 7800x3d like crazy for gaming but I initally figured going one generation back would be better than 2 generations back so I was looking at the 8000 series and went with a 8700F. After hearing about the x3D CPUs and the 7800 specifically I was looking around and realized the 8000 series has no x3D option. What's the story there? It's going with the 7800x3D gonna be a huge difference? Keeping in mind the 8700F I'd in the $200 dollar range where as the 7800x3D is looking a bit over $300 generally and we were initially trying to save a bit. So what's the move here yall think?

when i was choosing a CPU ryzen 7 8700F for my new built i tried to get some advices if this was a good choice or not.
but people said to get the ryzen 5 7500F instead???
why is this isnt the newer generation better?
I am currently saving money and planning to buy a PC in June (the start of summer break). Should I wait for the 8000 series to get better deals on older-gen CPUs? I am currently planning on buying a 5600 CPU, but if the prices of 7500f drop, I am planning on buying that CPU instead. I understand that I have to buy a different motherboard and RAM instead of what I have planned. Is it worth it?

I'm contemplating building a new pc with 7950x3d and 4090. Considering that the 8000 series is only a couple months away(?). Do you guys think it's worth jumping on 7000 series atm?
Only one mention I've seen on this two Ryzen series was when they released it. Everyone is using either 5000 series or 7000 series and I didnt seen anyone really using it. So who use it?
