Is it worth getting a 5800X3D for a X470 mobo.

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

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!
