You're evaluating upgrades for your gaming setup. Your current hardware handles competitive 1080p games with high refresh rates and 1440p single-player titles well. Considering a CPU upgrade to the Microcenter Bundle 7600x3d as your first step into AMD Ryzen 5000 series is a smart move, especially since you're already using an X3D cache-heavy CPU like the 5800X and 7900X. The benefits of X3D cache will definitely enhance performance in Rust and other games that rely on fast memory access.

I could try 7800x3d too, but that package costs $200 more. Not sure if it’s worth it.

Are you considering this upgrade? You already have a solid CPU and GPU setup. Regular upgrades tend to be the smarter choice, similar to the 7800x3d model.

For your situation, productivity work that demands more cores than the 7600x3d can be handled without issue. Are you thinking of investing more in your computer or gaming gear soon? Upgrading to the latest platform makes sense only if you plan to upgrade other components, especially the GPU to a much stronger model. At this point, the 7600x3d or similar chips probably won’t significantly improve your current setup. A more affordable choice would be the 5700x3d, which should meet your gaming needs and stay within budget. It may sacrifice some productivity performance compared to the 5800x because of its 3D V cache. If you don’t expect a big performance boost in the next year, a gradual upgrade—like the one suggested above—plus a major GPU replacement could be more economical.

Based on your current configuration, the 7800x3d isn't expected to noticeably boost performance after a full platform update, particularly since you haven't planned a GPU upgrade yet. The 9800x3d is priced higher than the 7800x3d, but it may not justify the upgrade unless you're specifically looking for it. A microcenter upgrade from 7800x3d would cost around $440 plus a Mobo and RAM of your choice. There don't seem to be any current bundle offers, though they might appear later. As for alternatives, staying with the AM4 socket is still a solid choice at least until you upgrade again. If you're aiming for AM5, the extra $40 for the 9800x3d could be worth it if demand increases.
