Which AMD CPU to use?

I've been going through the AMD CPU videos again and trying to figure out the most suitable choice for my needs. If I'm interpreting correctly, the 7800 seems ideal for gaming, but since I spend about 30% of my time on games and 70% on software like Solidworks, Unreal Engine, Blender, and rendering, I think a balanced approach would work best. SolidWorks still relies on CPU performance, especially for photorealistic previews, so having more cores makes a difference. The ThreadRipper is too costly compared to the 7000 series, which isn't in my budget—though I was happy with my 1950x. At this point, what would you recommend?

I received the 7900 without relying on X. Benchmarks from TPU for UE5 and Blender support this choice, so consider Puget as well.

I think the 7800X3D offers great value for gaming, but if maximizing productivity matters more, you might want to skip the x3d chips. Check out this video for details. Plus, if you can delay purchasing, doing so could be wise. Intel's 14th generation will launch in December, which may either lower prices now or give you a superior choice.

For tasks heavily using GPU power, consider a top CPU such as the 7800X3D. If your workload depends more on CPU multithreading, go with models like the 7900 or 7950.
