Now just waiting for the CPU to arrive. It already cleared US customs and should get it by the end of this weekend depending on how fast USPS shorts/delivers the item.
No point minimum upgrade and it is a HOT CPU (5800x) even my 280mm AIO barely keeps up with it. Around ~75°C during gaming (Default setting with XMP enabled for the best stability)
But for gaming, yes I would sell the 5700 and buy the 5700x3d instead or 5600x3d. That would be the last sensible upgrade for this AM4 platform.
But, the rule of thumb for AM4 is to get a 3600mhz kit with CL18 or lower if you can afford it. Because it has been proven to be the sweet spot for latency/prices/performance.
$90 and has 3 M.2 slots for nvmes.

That is exactly what I did last week. When I purchase it for 145-25coupon = 120 plus tax

The short answer would be NO going from 5700 to 5800x.

In most cases, it isn't very important.

DDR4 ram is super cheap right now anyways so if you're buying a ram not as part of a bundle, yea go for the 3600mhz at an extra 5 bucks but if you get it in a bundle like this, it's more than fine.

The 5600x has dropped to $100 before and includes a cooler so better to wait for the 5600x price to drop or just buy it now since the 5600x comes with a cooler and you don't get any more gaming performance beyond a 5600x.
My 5800X always ran pretty cool. Decided to tinker with some OCing while I wait for the new chip and come to find out the auto OC I was running from my motherboard the past few years has been limiting it. Had a 14000 Cinebench score. Reset to stock I am at just under 15000. However, now it is bringing the heat. The auto tune I had was keeping it 20C cooler.
