I upgraded to a 5700X3D for €200 two years ago and I'm very happy with my decision to upgrade my ageing AM4 desktop. I know that the difference is marginal to the 5800X3D, but I am seriously considering buying one, if the price is reasonable, just to keep my current computer alive just a little bit longer.
Same here (except mine was about $150 for a used? one from Aliexpress).
I'm slightly tempted by FOMO for the 5800X3D too, but realistically it's a single-digit-percentage difference and is definitely not worth it.
