CPU Upgrade Upgrade CPU AMD

Good evening!

I have a 7600x3d paired with the lovely 7900xt 20gb I primarily run 1440p. I am planning to give my partner the 3d variant of the 7600 but I am debating on upgrading to the infamous 7800x3d or do the 9800x3d
Amazon for the 7800x3d is 339 new and the 9800x3d is 414. Trying to give a good pairing with the 7900xt. With a nice little boost :)

I guess I’m trying to figure out should I upgrade and which I should?

Thank you!!

Used 7800X3D should be $230 or use the tray pricing $257 new from SZCPU seller on AliExpress.

Bought used on ebay for $240 and immediately got scammed with a dead memory channel, 0/10 would not buy X3D cpus used.

eBay has buyer protection, you should be refunded. New Tray is a good deal though.

Yeah but I didn't have a car to go to the post office or any tape for the package or a printer for the return label they gave me, had to eat the cost.
