Simple question; is it worthwhile buying a 5800X3D if I have a X470 Asus Prime Mobo. The PC is mostly used for gaming.
 
Its the top cpu on AM4 Id say yes. Usually can be had cheap of late. I put it on a X370 upgrading way back from a 1700x. The upgrade was, to put it mildly, insane.
 
Yes, 100%. That CPU rocks and is totally worth it. I'm just waiting to catch a good sale and I'll be upgrading from my 5800X.

I just purchased one off Newegg (i just happened to look on newegg 2 days ago). They had a bonus promo code discount (expires March 30) so the total cost was around 385 CAD with tax and free shipping. That's the lowest I've ever seen it go for. Gonna be a nice upgrade over my Ryzen 5 2600X lol.
B450 baby!

OK so i finally installed this beast.....and i only have CS to play with since thats what ive been playing most often casually (i have other games but without playing them much there isnt much to compare with). RX6600 @ 1080p high settings RAM @ 2666mhz with the R5 2600X i have been getting anywhere between 75-150fps. With this 5800x3D + 3200mhz RAM its capped out at 250+fps lol. The only other game i can use to compare is Doom 2016 (havent played in awhile). I dont remember what the FPS was but i know Vulcan ran better than OGL or D3D. And i dont think i made it past 100fps alot in those. so thumbs up to this monster.
