I did the same thing.

With how things are going that 5800X3D, a used high end workstation mainboard and some DDR4 RAM are going to carry me for a very long time.

I'm GPU bottlenecked in 99% of cases anyway.

I slept on swapping my 5800X to a 5800X3D, now I’m just kinda stuck until prices come down and I can upgrade to whatever socket AMD is on by that time.
