I intended to make a small improvement soon, but the deal isn’t terrible at all. Should I go ahead now if it doesn’t seem urgent, or should I keep my original idea, knowing another sale will likely happen soon?

We require additional details. Present specifications, desired improvements, budget range, objectives, and scenarios.

It's difficult to say without more details. But it seems you're asking to pause. So pause!

That's reasonable ^^ I aimed to ask fewer questions in one place, focusing more on whether upgrading is necessary rather than specifics. My setup has a 3600, and assembling this blender rig has turned into my main task, so I was seeking a stronger CPU to speed up many operations. The budget is capped at around £300, targeting a price range of 5700-5800. I'm planning 32GB RAM and a 2070 Super, with the ASUS Prime X470 motherboard.

The 5900X is now £330, you should definitely purchase it if you use a blender for work—it offers a 50% boost in core performance compared to the 5800X (12 cores to 8).

Yeah? I was considering saving money and getting the 5700x, but if you really believe it’s worth the £100 then I’m willing to handle it.

It will help you save time, and money goes faster. £330 looks like a solid deal. It should be worth the effort.

When doing heavy CPU rendering and not relying on GPU, it's a good idea. The 5950x model is also available at that price or lower.

I'm just concerned that when the price hits 7000 they'll be reducing it, and I might seem foolish.

They’re likely to stick with the same launch price and will probably perform better. That’s the usual. If you want a top-tier upgrade, go for it now with a new or used 5900x/5950x. The next 12 cores won’t be cheap either.
