Is there an issue when combining a 5500 with a 7800xt?

It's accurate to say that the most affordable AM5 CPU is priced at double that of the R5 5500.

The cheapest AM5 socket module is actually around $70, and the MSI Pro A620M-E is currently available at a sale price in MSI's store.

Such situations will never occur.
Inflation means that price figures (numbers) tend to rise over time.
And with the current market rates for AMD AM5 CPUs/MOBOs, these prices stay consistent. There might be occasional discounts or bundles, but the overall cost will remain stable.
The best case for price increases would be with GPUs, especially Nvidia models.
GTX 1080 Ti, a top Pascal architecture GPU, was priced at $699 when it launched in March 2017.
RTX 2080 Ti, the leading Turing architecture GPU, had a MSRP of $1199 when it debuted in September 2018.
RTX 3090 Ti, offering the best Ampere architecture GPU, was initially listed at $1999 in March 2022.
RTX 4090, the top Ada Lovelace architecture GPU, saw its MSRP rise to $1599 when it launched in October 2022.
Over the past five years, Nvidia's leading GPU has experienced significant price growth. While the RTX 4090 has seen a slight drop compared to the RTX 3090 Ti, its price with the GTX 1080 Ti has more than doubled.
Therefore, hardware costs are unlikely to reach "reasonable" levels and will continue to increase.
If you’re not concerned about WiFi, there are several options under 100. There are roughly 50 models in the 5500 to 8400F range. It also provides a route to upgrading to the 7000, 9000 and probably the next two AMD processor generations instead of the 5800X3D. In the long run, it’s more economical to choose a lower-tier GPU paired with a better platform rather than the other way around, since a GPU is simpler to sell, retains value less than the platform, and offers greater speed without needing a full system overhaul.
