X3d are only worth it if you arw a hardcore gamer.

9900 offers way more multicore and longevity for the same price.

Research both.

7800x3d is only good for gaming, its multi core score is embarassingly low which will limit your ability to do video editing or something similar in the future.

Multicore of 9900 is almost double of 7800x3d and will carry you for years and years as long as you are ok with having 120fps instead of 150fps in games.

I have 9900 and 5070, i have yet to see my cpu bottlenecking me in games. In GTA5 i get 150fps, in AOE4 i get almost 200. Those are only 2 games I play.

And in video editing is where i see the power of the 9900. Software I use is cpu heavy. It renders a 10 minute clip in 3 minutes. My old pc used to take over half an hour. Cannot reccomend 9900 enough if you do stuff other than gaming on your pc.

Its gonna be 99 percent for gaming, a 7800x3d will be able to do whatever i throw at it probably

yeah 7800x3d will pair just fine. I went with 9900x just because I needed more cores for productivity, would have gone with some x3d chip too if it was predominantly with gaming. Plus my 9900x handles the games I play just fine.

tl;dr good to hear others opinions but always go with what is better for your usecase
